Members of the district, the department and the general public witnessed the new Tower 4 as it arrived in Adams today for a test fit before leaving for SVI for additional calibration and fitting out. The truck was slowly backed into its bay while the dealer rep and fire department personnel kept a close eye on the top of the door, the newly cut beam, the sides of the door and the undercarriage of the apparatus. Everything cleared by at least 3 inches, and for a short time, the truck was home. After the camera system is calibrated and additional tools and electronics are mounted, a final inspection will occur at the dealer before the truck returns home to Adams for good. Once here, the department will have a period of training before all equipment is swapped over and the apparatus is placed in service.
