The South Metro (CO) Fire Rescue Authority was looking to replace a tandem-axle-heavy rescue and a midmount aerial platform quint with a single vehicle that could perform fire suppression, aerial, and rescue duties. South Metro found the answer in a Pierce 107-foot Ascendant tractor-drawn aerial (TDA) quint that it outfitted to also serve as a rescue truck. It is the first-ever tiller for the department.
