This is a taller platform than the previous BSPP acquisitions. Perhaps a decision following the Notre Dame cathedral fire? It was noticeable that the older 30 metre platforms were not quite high enough to get above the roof at that incident. And of course ancient buildings on this scale do not provide much opportunity for interior attack once the fire is in the roof.

Exactly ordered after the Notre Dame fire in 2019. Over budget! Therefore, was sponsored by the Galeries Lafayette Group (similar to Harrod's)

Shades of London’s addition of three 60 metre ladders after the disastrous Grenfell fire, one of which was also donated.

Amazing that the World’s leading cities only buy needed equipment after a disaster, and even then rely on donations!
