Maybe someone can load pictures of this thing up in the air, it'd be interesting to see a 144' aerial. Also looks like only 2 firefighters have room to ride with it?

I will try and get some... Yes only 2 firefighters ride it purely to operate the aerial, other firefighters on scene are used to assist with aerial operations if required.

Wow! Beautiful truck, and awesome photos!

I love the Scania chasis. When I was in Ireland in October, there were a ton of them. They are HUGE! I guess travel height isn't too much of an issue.

And, if I'm not mistaken, an aerial device is considered a "special operations" type apparatus....not the typical truck company we are used to having here in the US......Rogue, can you clarify?

Not much of a fan of overseas rigs, at least aesthetically, but that thing is a beast! I love it!

Yes for example in Adelaide (where i am from) we have 3 aerial devices (pics attached) and they are all in the City station, we also have 3 quints with 4 crew spread across other stations which act more like a truck company. All pumpers and quints carry 4 crew.

A turnout for a building fire in the city area is 2 pumpers, 1 quint, 1 bronto platform, 1 scba tender, 1 district officer, total of 18 crew if that helps.

Hey there guys,

I am a firefighter in melbourne with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, currently we have 3 x 37m, 1 x 35m (spare), 1 x 27m bronto plus 5 x telebooms (quints) in my department with the Country Fire Authority having 4 x brontos with a few more 44m ones on the way plus 3 or so quints.

The Brontos all run with 2 crew and the quints with 4. The quints are on all 2nd alarm assignments and the brontos on the 3rd alarm unless requested earlier. Now our alarms operate a bit different being a 2 x pumper response for a initial 1st alarm structure fire and a 2nd alarm bringing a further 2 x pumpers, 1 x quint, 1 x rescue and a commander.

Cheers
