The teamwork between the Tillerman (Tillerwoman) & the Driver is and always has been impressive!!! (Can you imagine how much harder it was before full coms, when all the Tillerman had was a (forward) cab roof mounted turn signal to go by?!?!?)
@@timmeinschein1061 Actually, I didn't have to imagine it, I lived it. And we didn't even have turn indicators. But, we were busy enough we knew the response routes by heart, so there were hardly ever any surprises.
From the UK here Really amazed at the team work and the smooth action of the tiller operator. You can see they were going a a right pace (rightly so too) Some of those turns were real tight but handled so well Getting off the truck, the tiller operator putting on his fire fighting gear calmly and smoothly then running off with a ladder Just a great job well done!
Fire engines are amazing. Originally in colonial America, they were hand pulled carts with a tank of water and some gear. And fire fightin was a business, if you didn't buy the insurance they would let your house burn down if it caught fire from a neighbor's house. Boston had the first public fire department, and you'll know why when I type his name: Benjamin Franklin started it. Horses were introduced, and steam engines to power / pressurize the water. Usually 2 or 3 abreast; when they arrived at the location the horses would be unhooked and led away. After the Civil War fire departments slowly started turning to engines, gas and later diesel powered. The only thing they're missing now is a built in coffee maker!

My dad (Bill) was a Harrisburg PA city firefighter from 1954 to 1977. He drove the tiller of a hook & ladder truck that was at the Allison Hill Fire House on 14th Street for many years. His brother (Richard) worked at the Hope Station on 2nd Street (one of the oldest stations in the USA). My Uncle John worked for the HFD from the 1930s to the 1950s. My cousin (Chuck) worked at the Number One station on 6th Street (uptown region of the city). He recently retired. My family worked in various positions for the Fire Department of Harrisburg for nearly 90 years. Nice video, I wish my dad was still with me so that he could see this...
@@mondo9.2.5 ... I often pondered that same question. It's not that I was afraid of danger, having served in the US Army in Vietnam and walked away from three Huey crashes. I spent my 40 years working in the Harrisburg area as a manager/CEO in various financial institutions. My dad knew that me and my 4 younger brothers loved him and respected him for his chosen "first responder" occupation.
I have a question or two: does the back seat driver have a brake pedal? Those things are NOT light at all! and can the ladder be controlled from the cab?
Awesome stuff! As a resident of 'The Burg' I want to offer my heart-felt thanks to all the great first responders we have in this city. You folks are AMAZING !!
I may not be a fire fighter but I do work for a company that comes in to help after a fire to board up, secure, and clean up the premise. I work on the demo side of the company
Harrisburg is full of surprises ! The burg is known for its dangerous streets and constant issues with fires, drive bys, and crime. I'm from the burg too qnd it has been a struggle
I have been a firefighter and officer since 1985 in a fairly small town in SC. And I agree, there are few things as badass as this. awesome display of skills and teamwork. then the tillerman suits up and grabs an extension ladder like its made of paper. Hats off to you guys
Very VERY impressed with the Tiller-man. The energy and drive he showed getting kitted up and being in the moment. Well done good and faithful servant. Your parents can be very proud of their boy.
This is my favorite truck in the city. My two sons watch firetrucks pass every day (we live on 6th and Boas), and the excitement always comes to them. I personally favor this truck because of the driver in the back; it's the only one like it. So glad I came across this video! I'll be showing it to my boys tomorrow.
Considering the comment below yours, you might want to take your location information out of this comment. Never a good idea to give such specific information out like that.
I personally never ran on a tiller trk, but my good friend use to always tell me the trick to going thru right city streets was, the faster you go the skinnier the truck would get, lol!!!!! He was w/Balt City FD. AWESOME vid man, stay safe

I've lived in this city and suburbs all my life. This truck stopped at the corner of 20th and Holly Streets. That was about two blocks from my old Edison Jr. High School. And about 8 blocks from my old John Harris High School. When I was a kid the people that lived on Holly Street would decorate their homes with a massive amount of Christmas lights, etc. In the 1970s and 80s my wife and I would drive our kids down that street, just to show them the beauty of the Christmas season.
Finally, I find a good video to watch. Always wondered what the tiller drivers view was like, & good to see the quickness that person took to get suited up. Good vid👍
Apart from shedding his seat belt enroute and almost getting entangled in taking his jacket off while trying to operate the tiller. Hasten slowly - didn’t save more than a second and could have been messy
That was a really cool point of view. I've seen a couple of those trailer fire trucks in New York, it must take some real coordination with the driver to have two people steering at once.
I dunno how much actual coordination they need. Once they're both used to driving that way I imagine it's really more a matter of the front driver driving in a manner they know will work and trusting the rear driver to handle what they need to. Basically becomes a matter of trust between the 2 that the other will handle it the way they should. Coordination in a manner of speaking I guess but not in terms of direct communication about everything little thing they're doing.
I know right?! Haha. That's what I said too. I never see anything about Harrisburg yet alone in my recommendations. It was cool to be able to say, "Oh yeah! I know those streets!" lol
I've done a couple of house fire jobs in Harrisburg through the restoration construction company I work for. Interestingly enough, they actually past one of the houses we recently just finished just behind park st. i think it was
WHoooa! Awesome video! Such a huge tractor-trailed would never be able to perform of those maneuvers without the rear driver steering the rear axle from what I now know is called a tillercab. Thank you!

I would have thought the rear steering would be reversed so that your turn the wheel the same way the main driver does, but it still reverses the steering wheels on the back. Seems like it would be hard to get used to steering opposite.
When the driver makes a right hand turn the back of the truck cuts the corner so the tiller man needs to steer left so the back of the truck swings out wider. If the steering was reversed then you would be steering towards obstacles that you are trying to avoid instead of steering away from them.

Run to your vehicle, drive it as fast as you can on public road in 25 tons truck without hitting other cars, when you arrived at your destination, gear up and fight raging fire and save lives. New definition of Extreme Job. Respect for Fire Department
Hey guys, Harrisburg city resident. I work in the capitol and fun little fact for you: The road you see in the beginning is called state street. If the camera turned 180 degrees you'd see the State capitol right there. Beautiful place, but unfortunately some parts of the city are like any other. Riddled with drugs, gangs, violence, arson, etc. Allison hill is certainly one of these places.
Excuse me but can you please do a video on how you set up your turnouts! I have watched this video about four daughters, and I still can’t figure out how you had your hood situated inside your coat, coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
I'm sure like many commenters here, many of us come from or have served, or currently serve as firefighters. A number of my relatives have and currently serve in public safety (particularly FFs and police officers). I served as a FF, FP officer and emergency services chaplain. My great uncle served twice as fire chief for Spring Mill Fire Co. in the 1950s and early '60s. One of my great grandfather's, served as a Tiller for the Phila. Fire Department in the 1960s-1980s.

Not necessarily. He’s basically steering away from curbs and other obstructions.
It's set up in the natural way
When the driver makes a right hand turn the back of the truck cuts the corner so the tiller man needs to steer left so the back of the truck swings out wider. If the steering was reversed then you would be steering towards obstacles that you are trying to avoid instead of steering away from them.
It's actually really easy for anybody who can reverse a articulated truck because we are used to steering the wrong way around crap going backwards 😂😂

I want to know how he has hood set up to be able to throw his turnout coat on and pull his hood over. I would like to do it to my gear
Heath Hallead the hood is attached to the snaps in between the outer and inner shell
@@KPaul77 is that a special hood to be able to do that
Heath Hallead nope just put the buttons through small holes in the hood
@@KPaul77 so you made small holes in your hood to do that ?
Heath Hallead correct sir, just enough to get the buttons through and snapped
that tillerman is one cool and proffesional guy nice to see
ive never seen a video of that... i knew that somebody sits there but ive never seen it... and here in germany you dont have stuff like that xD
@@monteur9933 natürlich ^^ die haben ja auch riesige Fahrzeuge im Gegensatz, jedoch können unsere genau so gut, wenn nicht besser löschen xD
Ok 717 in the house! Fantastic job y'all!
Right across that state street Bridge driving right smack into the ghetto but still saving lives. Such a small city yet so many deaths and shootings the past two weeks alone
This city has a huge black cloud lingering over it... Prolly why so many people are leaving or planning on leaving!
Have you done anything to help?
@@DairangerSentai7 if that question is for me and I assume that it is then the answer is yes. I do actually help. Im not one of those people who wait on politicians to "make america great again"... Im involved in my kids school, my kids upbringing and I participate in keeping my community clean and that's just for starters. I have ideas on improvements that I plan on carrying out. So yea, black cloud or not I do actually help. Its my responsibility! So now I ask you, do you help? Improving this city is too great a job for one man. It takes members and a movement!
Excellent tillerman !!! He made that look easy & it’s not .. and boy they were FLYING!!! 🚀
Anyone else here live in harrisburg
Hey 😘❤
Hi
Unfortunately yes
Yeah bro, this is kinda weird
@@Electracarbine why is that?
Firefighters are extremely under appreciated.
I don't think that is true. They're like cops but without the tyrannical power tripping and complete lack of accountability.
When you hear that kind of Q screaming in your rear view mirror, you better pull over fast
Run to your vehicle, drive it as fast as you can on public road in 25 tons truck without hitting other cars, when you arrived at your destination, gear up and fight raging fire and save lives. New definition of Extreme Job. Respect for Fire Department
He drive a so BIG ladder, and at the end, he take the small one on his shoulder.... the way is long and hard to the top...
Awesome. Be safe out there to everyone in this field.
Bruh, I thought he was in a train.
Fun fact: this is the OG back seat driver.
that was in the hood lol allison hill no joke
Excellent work, Tillerman. I miss being a firefighter.
The tillerman did for 1/2 the video until he started getting ready to put on his running coat.
Looks like the best rollercoaster ever. Your just strapped in
There is something about the screaming siren and airhorn that raises goosebumps on my arms.
This still amazes me !
Awesome footage. Always wondered what it looked like being the guy in the back.
Hey guys, Harrisburg city resident. I work in the capitol and fun little fact for you: The road you see in the beginning is called state street. If the camera turned 180 degrees you'd see the State capitol right there. Beautiful place, but unfortunately some parts of the city are like any other. Riddled with drugs, gangs, violence, arson, etc. Allison hill is certainly one of these places.
Pretty cool! Respect you guys a lot!!!
Incredible driving. The powercall is one of the worst sounds to me but that's irrelevant. Great job and stay safe!
I love that heavy heavy Q and Powercall
I absolutely LOVE that horn just the blow is awesomd wish we had this in europe more
Fantastic video. Love watching that tiller snake thru the city.
Excuse me but can you please do a video on how you set up your turnouts! I have watched this video about four daughters, and I still can’t figure out how you had your hood situated inside your coat, coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
Wow. Very interesting, thanks for posting this.
I'm sure like many commenters here, many of us come from or have served, or currently serve as firefighters. A number of my relatives have and currently serve in public safety (particularly FFs and police officers). I served as a FF, FP officer and emergency services chaplain. My great uncle served twice as fire chief for Spring Mill Fire Co. in the 1950s and early '60s. One of my great grandfather's, served as a Tiller for the Phila. Fire Department in the 1960s-1980s.
grumpy old fart from n.h. here. thanks for the ride along, haven't driver a tiller in decades. john
Firefighters are probably the bravest and most noble people on the planet.
nice video!, best regard from Chile, Santiago!
So you turn left to turn right and turn right to turn left 💀 now how am i gonna always remember that 💀
That’s the most badass machine I’ve seen for a while
God bless you Brother!!! May God keep you all safe Always.
So proud of you guys.
Amazing how smoothly they get that big hankin ladder truck through narrow residential streets.
I like that setup with the steering wheel on the ladder trailer. Did a better job than Kramer. Thank you.
