Walk around Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Department’s Velocity® 100’ Ascendant® Tower with Captain Brandon Boettcher. The short turning radius, short scrub length of the ladder and large amount of storage space were all reasons why the department chose the Mid Mount Platform mid-mount platform. An extended cab allowed for an additional compartment to store water cans, fire extinguishers and New York hooks.
