The Tractor-Drawn Aerial truck measures 100 feet from front to rear with a 100-foot vertical reach. It provides the kind of maneuverability necessary to navigate Revere’s narrow streets and intersections, with the rear steering position, the tiller, steering independent of the front of the truck.  

According the manufacturer’s website, which features a photo of the Revere truck, the vehicle provides maximum visibility from the tiller position and over 500 cubic feet of storage.

Arrigo pointed out that the new ladder truck is the latest example of investments in the city’s fleet of vehicles.

One rescue engine, four additional engines, and an aerial truck will arrive later this week.

The new trucks will replace frontline aging ones, that will be either be traded in, or put into their reserve fleet.Two of the Bowling Green Fire Department's current fleet trucks will be auctioned off on a later date.

The Yonkers City Council voted Tuesday to donate the equipment because the Yonkers Fire Department no longer needs it and there is no space to store it.

The donated equipment includes a 2002 American LaFrance Freightliner truck, 59 coats, 64 pants, 60 flashlights, harnesses and generators, among other gear.
