New Bronto Skylift

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Birmingham Fire & Rescue is almost ready to place their new Bronto in service. It should be in the streets in about 2 weeks.

It was going to be at #3 and was even numbered for 3 but it turns out that it was too heavy for the floor at #3. It will now be at #1.

Pictures don't do this beauty justice. BFRS has purchased a real impressive apparatus.

NBC13 and Fox6 did a story on the preview of the new Bronto... (video)

Below are pictures of two engines I found at East Jefferson when I went out there to take some shots of their apparatus.

One is a 1964 FWD used by Jefferson County Civil Defense. The other is a 1964 FWD that was Reserve Engine 13 from Birmingham. Both engines are from Central Fire Apparatus in St Louis.
