From The Chief
Chief Dan Patterson
"Our previous ladder was 75', so this unit is extremely important. The extra reach, shorter wheelbase and quick setup of our Ascendant helps us rapidly respond to our downtown businesses, which have conjoining walls and rooftops. Pierce met our every need and made sure the overall height stayed below 12'."
