All new firetrucks are taller now due to tougher diesel emission standards. The BU Bridge is 11'0" and the ramps from Kenmore to Storrow outbound have a clearence of 10'8". For 33 & 15 to respond outbound they HAVE to use the overpass from Boylston Street. I almost learned that the hard way one afternoon, but fortunately I was smart to realize that 10'9" won't fit under 10'8"!
