Velocity® Ascendant® 100’ Heavy-Duty Aerial Tower – Windcrest, TX

Windcrest Fire Department’s #Velocity 100’ #AscendantTower is on the floor at #FDIC2021! #WindcrestTX is a compact city including overhanging trees within The City of San Antonio so the short overall length and height of the #MidMountPlatform allows great maneuverability. Treadplate flooring was installed for easy sweeping and decontamination after responding to a scene. The compartmentation on the #AscendantPlatform is so versatile the department was able to take full advantage adding vertical partitions and shelving. A number of cities in and around the San Antonio area designed a rapid intervention team emblem which indicates to other incoming crews where their RIT bag is stored. On this #AerialPlatform this graphic is located above the wheel well on the passenger’s side.
