Tele-Squrt

The Telesqurt is an aerial firefighting device built by the Snorkel Fire Equipment Company. Snorkel introduced the Squrt in 1968. The Squrt was a 54-foot articulated master stream device. The Telesqurt followed in the early 1970s, and was available in 35, 55, 65 and 75-foot versions.

A-T-O, the parent company of American LaFrance, acquired Snorkel in 1973. Despite the ALF connection, the booms were made available to other manufacturers.

Today, the Snorkel, Squrt and Telesqurt are built and sold by Ladder Tower Company, a division of Smeal Fire Apparatus Company.

The proper spelling is "Squrt" and "Telesqurt" without the "i."
