    As a retired firefighter I can answer why departments like NY or Chicago do not operate units like this. The main reason is the area needed to safely operate it. If you look the photo you can see the area needed to set up the stabilization outriggers. In old cities many of the streets where this unit would be most useful are not wide enough to set this up. Add in parking at streetside and there’s even less room. You can’t short jack something like this. It would be much too dangerous to not fully extend the jacks. The length and weight of a truck like this would not work just turning into some narrow streets in older cities. The weight of something like this can exceed 100,000 lbs and exceeds bridge capacity in older cities. Commercial trucks of this type of weight require special permits and special routes just for this reason. Incidentally this is not the largest unit bronto makes. One can be had that will reach over 360’ Congratulations to Toronto and I hope it works out well for them.

      @@thomasfreeman7770 I would, but I feel like you covered everything I would have. In Alabama, Birmingham Fire Department switched to Brontos several years ago, and the extended height did away with their ability to half-jack, and since the outriggers were so long, there were many places they could not use them. Also, the higher operating heights required several more safety’s in the programming that there were many times on more serious grades that the apparatus wouldn’t even allow aerial operations.
      They have since retired them all and gone back to mid-mount and tiller-drawn aerials. The AO’s are absolutely overjoyed they decided to switch back. Everything you said was spot on.

      @@michaelthorin5718 Wow, you would think that the command structure of a department as large as it would be in Birmingham would have fully studied the pro,s and con,s of such a major purchase. With standard aerials around 1M today I can imagine the explanation they would have to give to the public about the funding wasted for more than one of these. Well at least the firefighters are happy now.

    Why are so many people hating on this. It’s not meant to be used a lot. There are a lot of types of fire apparatus that aren’t used very often. Haz Mat, cbrne, foams units, trench rescue… every major city should have one a rig like this. It’s 2022 , all fire departments should be evolving and figuring out how to save more lives.

      Fire code for skyscrapers, at least in the US, is strict enough for this to be an unjustifiable purchase for most departments. Fires like the London Tower that burned a few years ago don't happen in the US because of these codes. Occupants trapped outside of the fire apartment itself will likely be able to shelter in place. This kind of apparatus would rarely, if ever, need to be used in most major US cities. I work in the US, not Canada, so I can't speak to the necessity of something like this for Toronto. But for where I work, no, nobody would want this.

      Fun fact: Both FDNY and CFD have similar units. Chicago just took delivery a few years back of E-One built 137' rear-mount ladder trucks, and has operated 135' Morita and 144' Magrius (I think thats how it's spelt) ladders in the past. The FDNY meanwhile has dedicated rescue trucks called High-Rise 1 and 2 which carry all the gear needed to get people out, minus the ladder, hose and water. But given the FDNY sends 8 engines, 4 trucks, a rescue, a squad, 3 battalions, 5 ambulances, and about 2 dozen supporting units to every major building fire I don't think they have issues getting people out. Neither department needs to "take notes;" they paved the way and pioneered this shit.

      That isn't how FDNY works. They would not be able to operate a beast like this in those narrow old streets. They fight high-rise fires from the inside, which is much more effective. They have the manpower, training & experience to go wherever they're needed. Toronto is a whole different animal. The vast majority of their tall buildings are recent construction. TFS intends to use this apparatus mostly to aid in high angle rescue operations. It would be impractical for fire fighting at such altitudes. The wind coming off Lake Ontario at 200' in downtown or midtown is often very significant. Even at street level, anyone who's been in Manhattan or Chicago knows the wind between tall buildings can be fierce.
