The 10k Harrison electric generator will provide power for the two 200′ cord reels and the bumper mounted Warn winch, as well as a portable winch. The cost of this vehicle was $960,000 before adding the Holmatro extrication tools that are pre-connected to an onboard hydraulic power plant. Along with a full complement of ground ladders, there is a 45′ bangor ladder. Ladder 4 will continue to perform 1st due truck duties in addition to responding to highrise building fires.
