Here is a photograph of NYF&R's Bronto Skylift. This 'first' is a very low vehicle, designed to fit into older fire stations and driven under low bridges. It cost £320,000 and is being used for training before being permanently stationed at York in 2003. The rear of the appliance. Fire engines have got lots of computerised equipment on board today, as seen behind the hatch. Near the top of the picture are the four wooden rests used to level the ground under the stabilisers. A close up of one of the controls under the flap. The display is showing the safe operating limits of the boom (as detected by the computer) as well as the engine's manning and other variables.
