Download or read book Modern Fire Trucks written by Kent Parrish and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progression of American fire apparatus since the romantic horse-drawn era has truly been amazing. The elementary steam engines and wagons of yesteryear have evolved into a multitude of technologically advanced modern rigs to mitigate the hazards of the 21st Century as efficiently and safely as possible. The roles of today's fire services have expanded to include Emergency Medical Services, Hazardous Materials, Urban Search & Rescue, and Wildland. These modern disciplines required a new breed of specialty apparatus and even the classic fire truck has transformed into multi-purpose rescue-pumpers, pumper-tankers, and an array of aerial trucks. An industry long dominated by legendary names is led by a new generation that includes Pierce, KME, E-One, Rosenbauer, Ferrara, and many others. This volume highlights fire trucks from 1980 to present, the culmination of the 20th Century into a new Millennium.
Download or read book American Fire Apparatus written by Wayne Mutza and published by MMD-Squadron Signal. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the urban skyline rose and horsepower gave way to motorization, the need increased for better ladders and other aerial equipment to fight fires in tall buildings. Ladders grew longer and the trucks that carried them evolved. Improved aerial ladders were fixed to truck beds and new methods were devised to deliver water and firefighters to those building heights. The hundreds of unique and dramatic photos that pack this volume feature fire trucks equipped with a wide spectrum of devices evolved over more than a century, including aerial ladders, elevating platforms, aerial ladder platforms, and water towers. The book illustrates the evolution of the styles and function of the vital "hook-and-ladder trucks" that are an integral part of fire departments throughout the US.
