    Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and a ladder assembly. The body assembly defines a recess that includes a plurality of angled portions. The plurality of angled portions extend laterally outward at a downward angle away from the longitudinal axis. The ladder assembly has a proximal end disposed within the recess. The plurality of angled portions at least partially facilitate the ladder assembly in traveling through at least one of a sweep angle range or a depression angle range.

    Abstract: Briefly stated, one aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a firefighting apparatus. The firefighting apparatus includes a movable fire truck chassis and a battery array movable with the movable fire truck chassis and operatively connected to provide power for operating at least one pump of the firefighting apparatus. A pre-connect pump has a pre-connect inlet and a pre-connect outlet and is electrically powered by the battery array. A controller is operatively connected to the pre-connect pump and configured to control the pre-connect pump under a standby condition selected to maintain the firefighting apparatus in a state of readiness to pump firefighting fluid. The controller reduces a power-consumption rate of the pre-connect pump while maintaining the standby condition as compared to operating the pre-connect pump under an idle condition. The standby condition requires pumping by at least one pump within the firefighting apparatus for maintenance of the standby condition.

    Abstract: A fluid system includes a ratio controller. The ratio controller includes a housing, a nozzle, and a diffuser. The housing defines a mixing chamber, a first inlet positioned at a first end of the mixing chamber, an outlet positioned at an opposing second end of the mixing chamber, and a second inlet positioned at a location around a periphery of the mixing chamber between the first inlet and the outlet. The first fluid is configured to receive a first fluid input. The second inlet is configured to receive a second fluid input. The nozzle includes a nozzle inlet positioned proximate the first inlet and a nozzle outlet positioned within the mixing chamber. The diffuser extends from the outlet and outward from the housing. The diffuser includes a diffuser inlet positioned within the mixing chamber.

    Abstract: A system for and method of fighting fires using a monitoring system in communication with a hazard mitigation robot. The monitoring system is comprised of a plurality of sensors receiving data that is analyzed by the monitoring system to identify a potential fire. When a potential fire is detected, the monitoring system dispatches one or more autonomous hazard mitigation robots which navigate to an indicated location, confirm the presence of a fire, and attempt to extinguish the fire using fire suppressant material carried onboard the hazard mitigation robot.
