At the height of their popularity they were seen on the front covers of newspapers across the country bringing major fires under control and rescuing people. They have served many departments large and small across North America over the last 45 years. This led to the revolutionary elevating platform, or "Snorkel", as they were referred to by many firemen. A concise history of each company that built elevated platorms is provided along with a photographic timeline of the various rigs they were built on. They can deliver a 1000 gallons of water per minute through a master stream to the seat of the fire or quickly rescue victims from upper floors. Elevating platforms, with their articulating booms and large area platforms, offer firemen the flexibility to be positioned in places that would otherwise be impossible to reach.
