ROSENBAUER AMERICA's dealer, Aréo-Fire, was recently awarded a contract for 20 aerial apparatus by the Montréal (Québec, Canada) Fire Department. This contract will be for a period of five years at four aerials per year being delivered. The city based its choice on the results of an evaluation process where price, presentation, delivery capacity, and service after the sale were all considered at different levels. The apparatus will have the same general features, including a 100-foot aerial with water tower; will have no pumps; and will be mounted on a Rosenbauer Commander 4000 chassis. The fire department has used a variety of aerial apparatus for the past 10 years, including four Rosenbauer T-Rex articulating platforms.

HME's HXR™ (HME Extreme RAT) is the latest in rapid attack truck design offered by HME, Incorporated. It's 4x2 on-highway and 4x4 off-road capabilities allow for this adaptable and rugged fire truck to take command of a wide range of terrain and environments. Wide, low-profile, super-single tires and central tire inflation system provide optimal traction on soft ground, on sand, and over extreme obstacles.

HME's proprietary, modular mounting system isolates the water tank and tank frame from chassis stress and twist. The body mounting system keeps the stainless steel body independent of stresses transferred from the chassis and subframe. This engineering improves apparatus durability and life while optimizing truck stability and control in uneven and extreme terrain applications. Built on a custom HME SFO® (Short-Front-Overhang) chassis, HXR engineering excelled in lane-change testing with a filled water tank, keeping all four-tires planted on the road and in control at all times.

SMEAL FIRE APPARATUS CO. and GIMAEX INTERNATIONAL stepped out together at Interschutz 2015 with the display of the Smeal CORE™ Multi-Mission Pumper with OMNI™ Control System. The pumper was shown alongside the full Gimaex fire apparatus product offering. The companies announced a teaming arrangement in April, and this is the first trade show where the companies have exhibited together.

The CORE Multi-Mission Pumper features a full-size, drive-shaft-driven midship pump but also eliminates the space taken up by a traditional pump panel. This provides the maneuverability of a short wheelbase and maximum storage space. The CORE pumper also features Smeal's OMNI Control System. With this technology, Smeal has packaged proven electrically controlled valves in a compact control module. Not only does the OMNI control system control the pump and valves, but it can also control the monitor, scene lights, truck-mounted cameras, generator, air horn, and water and foam levels.

With summer only about half way over, fire crews in Spokane have already done a full season's worth of repairs on their fleet with no end in sight. When it comes to a fire season like this one, there is absolutely no such thing as a low-key day for maintenance workers like John Koberstine.
