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

Walk around Killeen Fire Department’s blacked-out #Velocity 100' #AscendantTower with firefighter Robert Lundberg. The unique logo on each side of the #MidMountPlatform was designed with the “jack of all trades” concept in mind as the central station has rescue, EMS, a ladder company and chief officers. The #AerialPlatform will maneuver well in the downtown district of #KilleenTX. An EMS compartment is located inside the crew cab to keep supplies temperature controlled. Electrical outlets are located in every compartment for flexibility of battery powered tool storage.

I am from Killeen and it is good to see they finally put Q2's on their trucks. Only took forever. And a new black chrome one at that. Sweet. And icing on the cake is the Roto-Ray. Double sweet 😁

[@austint9855]

Q2’s have been on the trucks since 2008. The older reserve engines don’t have them. But all of the current Spartans do.

I’m from Killeen as well 🤘🏾

Love seeing the department getting this ladder truck that they've needed for so long. My dad and my grandfather served as volunteer firefighters in Killeen and my grandfather was Sgt at Arms for the State and taught at A&M fire school. Great looking truck!

Love the "Jack of all Trades". Congratulations of the new apparatus!

[@Absolute_Unit]

Absolutely love the black Q

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

The matte black is looking so good on this rig!

[@nubbyg9096]

Nice walkaround

[@rmyerscmi]

Grey over red is a very elegant color scheme. One of my favorites.

[@f0rumrr]

I like that color combo, super dark grey on top of super dark red.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

Looks like you guys went with the TAK3 Rear Steer. Good choice! Maneuverability with platform and ladder trucks that aren’t tillers is important!

[@americanoutdoorsman_1133]

That’s one sharp rig!!!

[@tsaffran]

if that thing can pump it's own water awesome

Sharp would love to know the price

[@trvman1]

They never say.

[@ritirons2726]

Low end would be 900k, but more likely 1mil +

[@JS-zb1vv]
