The highly customized Bronco SUV to help emergency wildfire crews, is going to Bandalier National Monument.
"When wildland fires break out, it's one thing to get people in there and it's another thing to be able to communicate," Dave Rivers, Ford enthusiast brand manager, told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network."You marry up the capability of a Bronco with the advanced technology from Darley, and it's a great recipe to solve an unmet need.
"My grandfather, W.S. Darley, actually went to Ford about 100 years ago and approached them about designing and building a commercial fire truck," Peter Darley, chief operating officer of the namesake company, told the Free Press."He was able to offer that to municipalities across the U.S. at a lower price and a very good value. Since then, we've built a lot of different vehicles, and a lot them around Fords.", which has given more than $3.
Use of multiple forms of technology allows fire crews to gather and share reliable information about fire location and severity without cellphones losing connection, so firefighters can more quickly control wildfires in remote situations, Kevin Sofen, director of innovation at Darley, told the Free Press."Darley, at our core, makes fire pumps and fire trucks. And that's what we do very well," Sofen said.
