I am also impressed with Denver's Fleet of relatively new apparatus and the Tower Ladders as well.
It's good to see that there is a western Fire Department that is using Aerial Platforms (besides Phoenix and Las Vegas) and in Texas of course. It seems that very few fire departments that are located on the West Coast that use Aerial Platforms (at least in California and Washington)[/quote]
Well, I think I can help with part of that. About 2 years ago my dept was looking at buying a truck. We had the local ALF rep out and asking about the aerial platforms he stated that the reason you dont see any new ones is due to the weight limits on the roads in CA. I think he mentioned that WA was the same as well.
