From The Chief

Chief Keith Sanders

"We have significant traffic congestion and older multi-family complexes that pose significant challenges to fire apparatus maneuvering through traffic and entering narrow complex entrances. Our Ascendant gives us less weight, improved horsepower, and a shorter wheelbase."
