Pierce Introduces A Kneeling Fire Engine

[jquest6368]

Depending on the kneeling system, they can be problematic.  I personally have seen lots of problems with air bag systems...the "Liquid Spring" system seems to be a lot more reliable, at least here in a major urban EMS system here in the Northeast.  As far as fire apparatus go, I would think that a full booster tank, hose load, tool load, especially if a rescue pumper, would be a lot of weight.  Technology is great, but sometimes it would seem too much is no good at all.  Guess we'll see.
