- Extruded aluminum body with SideStacker® hosebed

“A lot of custom design work was done to create these trucks for Ottawa, including special lowered cab steps, recessed SCBA storage in the rear cab wall, a ladder tunnel to hold two 35′ two-section ladders, special narrow rear body design and a turntable mounted saw box,” said Joe Hedges, E-ONE Product Manager. “The folks from Ottawa had a vision for the truck and I’m pleased we were able to deliver these amazing aerials for their fire department.”
Lt. Bruce Griffin of the Ottawa Fire Department said his crews were super excited to receive the new apparatus. “These new aerials have many innovations that the E-ONE engineering team and our dealer worked hard to make happen for us. Every single thing we asked for, E-ONE provided. If it wasn’t a standard, they engineered it for us.”
