Bainbridge Island, WA - Metz aerial

Bainbridge Island, Washington USA operates this
2002 HME/General 1500 GPM pump 300-gallon tank & 103-foot Metz aerial
Metz aerials in North America are very rare. Not sure how many there is, but I know of San Francisco Airport & Kennett Square PA if anyone knows of any other Metz' in USA, I would be interested. Thanks

cool! I've never seen one like it...its boxy, but I like it.
I like how the platform is on the roof, and the full lightbar can be shown on the front...

Notice only the first rear axle is powered! I wonder if the rear most axle is steerable, possibly even a lift axle, or even both!

The rear Axle of this one is a steering tag axle.
