Aidan, you realize AT-8 isn’t downtown right? State and Michigan aren’t in their still. Also, they can’t practice every viaduct in the city to make sure they are good to go. AT-8 could respond citywide.

Unfortunately that’s impractical because the fire department doesn’t decide where the calls are at.

Aerial Tower 8 crashed into a viaduct about a month ago. The front of the main was damaged. The rig will get some work done and it might send it back to the manufacturer to get a new main installed. Because of its size, They should only go through the main streets like Michigan, State, Halsted, Racine, Ashland, etc. They should have driven it more responsibly.

And apparently aerial tower 8 is already ruined.
