@jmWhyMe They do have Tillers in there fleet because of the narrow streets in the city Check out my video I did on Ladder Tiller 39 on my RUclips channel It was a spare they were using until there primary rig is in for service
I think all the FDNY tillers are in Manhattan . Neither Boston or Chicago have used tillers since the early 1980's . A good EVD who knows his area and gets out and puts in trigger time behind the wheel can thread a straight truck almost anywhere a tiller can go . And at considerable savings to the municipal treasury .
@@JLTJr. You are right that tillers are more expensive. They do have one in Da Bronx. I will say that I have seen FDNY Rescue rigs who can't get out of their house without backing and turning so I imagine some trucks have the same issue
@notlisted-cl5ls Ladder 38 is one of the best kept rigs in the fleet . The old rig was in awesome shape and is one of the fleets best spare units they have .Sorry your wrong !!
glad to see the Seagraves are back!
support FDNY 🇺🇸 👍
Beautiful Rig 🚨🚒👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This looks like a very functional Ladder Truck . Not to pick nits .. but shouldn't the bell be on the right hand / officers side ?
Impressive
Why doesn't FDNY use tillers? Is it because of the construction of your houses? I would think with the tight streets tillers would be easier to drive!
