Still gathering more information on this rig and hope to have more later.  This was displayed at the 2017 FDIC show.  Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equipment is credited for the photo.  ~Rescue 51.

Yes, Miami-Dade rotator rescue.  I wonder what the crane lift capacity is and at which angles.  Miami-Dade seems like a very progressive FD.  I noticed they have many later model rigs from various manufacturers, versus sticking to one brand.

Awesome and I couldn't imagine LAFD Heavy Rescue 3 and LA County Heavy Rescue 103 having a rig this size and now more departments seem to be copying the Heavy Rescue Wrecker concept originated by LAFD.

Wow what a Monster!-Johnny Gage Emergency! S3 Episode The Old Engine (Ward LaFrance E51 debuts) 

Miami-Dade's HR is Bigger than the LAFD & LA County's HR.

What ever happened to the wrecker that Long Beach is suppose to get

I believe it was scrapped or put on hold due to budget cuts.

I believe it's at 80 ton wrecker from the looks of it. I'm surprised they would operate suck a large wrecker like that.
