From The Chief

Chief Kevin Miller

“We’re getting an additional 32 feet over our 75’ aerials, on a single rear axle, while helping maintain our Class 1 ISO rating. Ease of Ascendant setup requires limited manpower. And the TAK-4 Independent Suspension maximizes maneuverability in the older, more narrow parts of the city.”
