Toronto has acquired a new fire truck that will bring fire crews to new heights.
On Wednesday, Mayor John Tory and Fire Chief Matthew Pegg unveiled the Bronto Skylift 70m articulated aerial unit, nicknamed Tower 1.
“When you give the fire service this new height that they need to reach new parts of our growing city this makes it much more certain that we can provide residents in the city, across the board with the kind of protection that they need,” Tory said at a news conference. The apparatus also provides enhanced aerial firefighting capabilities as the master stream nozzle at the end of the platform is capable of flowing up to 3,800 litres of water per minute.
