SkyPod

The SkyPod was an aerial device introduced by Pierre Thibault in the mid 1980s. The first one was built for Lachine, Qc in 1984. After Thibault's 1990 bankruptcy, the SkyPod design became the property of NovaQuintech Corporation, who manufactured it for Canadian and US fire departments. It was available on trucks built by NovaQuintech and also sold to other builders. In 1997, NovaQuintech ceased operations and sold the designs to Pierce Manufacturing, which offered the SkyPod as part of its product line until 20??.
