Pierce Introduces A Kneeling Fire Engine

I'm not sure I like this idea. For transit buses, and select ambulances, it makes sense. But for a fire engine? I can't  see it really making a difference, and it must be expensive to purchase and maintain.

Might make it safer for ff's getting in/out with turn out gear and getting equipment. Especially for shorter ff's.

Will it beep as it kneels just like the buses do?

Will it stay down until raised? I am thinking this would lower the hose bed and the pump panel but having to kneel again every time you need something would probably defeat the purpose.
