Velocity® 100’ Ascendant® Heavy-Duty Aerial Tower – Covington, LA

Walk around St. Tammany Parish Fire Protection District No. 12’s #Velocity 100' #AscendantTower! This #AerialPlatform allowed the department to combine two of their existing apparatus, a 75’ ladder and rescue. The compartmentation was organized for job specific tasks for various emergency scenes. The rear of the apparatus holds ladders that are traditionally longer as well as pike poles and a generator. The blue over white color scheme on the #MidMountPlatform is new for the department. The community of #CovingtonLA is growing with both rural and suburban areas.
