EXCELSIOR FIRE TOWERS
Installation, restoration and fabrication of timber frame and steel fire towers.
60-Foot Aermotor MC-39, disassembled, in Yarnell, Arizona
Rosemary Fire Tower, Sumter, South Carolina.
The US Air Force is looking for options for the removal of an 80-foot tower that has been recommended for demolition. The structural assessment only mentions deficiencies with the wooden components and the cement footings. Rosemary is believed to be either an International Derrick or a McClintic-Marshall tower (not an Aermotor LS-40 that the report says). Although the tower may be obtained for little or nothing, please remember that the true costs are in the dismantling and re-erecting!
