Abstract: A relatively small fire apparatus vehicle, which may have a single rear axle, is provided that includes a high-flow articulated water tower that delivers water at a rate of up to 1500 GPM (gallons per minute). The high-flow articulated water tower includes a water splitter that divides a water flow from a pump system into a pair of water flow path segments delivered through a pair of lower tower arm water pipes. The water flow path segments may be recombined in a water stem knuckle at a joint between the lower tower arm and an upper tower arm of the articulated water tower that is delivered as a combined flow through an upper tower arm water pipe and out a delivery nozzle.

Abstract: A relatively small fire apparatus vehicle, which may have a single rear axle, is provided that includes a high-flow articulated water tower that delivers water at a rate of up to 1500 GPM (gallons per minute). The fire apparatus vehicle may include a turret support arrangement with a torque box that is supported from the vehicle chassis and that supports a turret at its turret base. A pair of outriggers is connected to at least two of the vehicle chassis, the torque box, and the turret base through a pair of outrigger mounts on opposite sides of the vehicle chassis.
