This might be one of the best thought-out trucks I have seen on this channel yet. Seems a great deal of thought went into every single compartment. Nice job.
what a great looking truck company we don't have trucks like those where I live in Canada most of our truck units have pumps so I would like to see those back in Canada some day
...And over here I'd like to point out these Bilateral Gunz and custom ink. A great feature Pierce offers at an extra cost however entirely essential. Nice tiller and Chill Capt. God Bless.
Sorry but no, she does not qualify for the quint designation. The pump must be capable of 1000 gpm. This one is 500. There is not nearly enough hose either. The tank is 300 gallon which meets the minimum NFPA requirement.
ladder pipe mode is typically a smooth bore tip that is a straight stream, water tower mode is a automatic nozzle capable of different stream patterns straight, fog etc.
Actually, there is no difference. Whereas a tower-ladder is typically a platform on a stick. These aren't used much out west but are the favored apparatus for elevated master stream operations elsewhere. Check out FDNY, Chicago, Buffalo NY, etc. Straight-stick aerial ladders are better for emergency egress & VES operations.
In our dept (Phila.) a water tower is a pumper with a articulated boom with an automatic nozzle at the end I think the arm typically has the bend at the front with the nozzle in the rear we also have squrts which are the same except the arm bends in the rear and the nozzle is at the front over the cab, a ladder pipe is a tiller ladder where we lay 3.5 inch hose line down the middle of the main ladder and strap it to the rungs and connect it to a play pipe with a smoothbore tip at the end of the ladder which is controlled by guide line ropes by members on the ground the other end of the 3.5 in hose line is connected to a siamese on the ground which is supplied by a pumper with 2 3inch supply lines sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helps.
@@ericscott430 SQURT is a brand of articulating water boom or water tower. This officer was suggesting they use their pre-piped tiller for both types of operation but they are essentially the same. Pre-plumped or by stretching hose up the aerial, & manually or remotely controlled; elevated master stream operations are for "surround & drown" or defensive jobs. The exception being some depts employ a blitz attack to knock down a heavy but concentrated fire before effecting VES. However this can be problematic due to the risks of pushing fire into adjoining areas or scalding victims prior to extrication.

A better truck does not exist. Absolutely beautiful.

Great video & Great lookin truck! Love the specs! He seems like a super chill Capt.!
Love that rig.
Fantastic Video! Love that it is a Quint style truck, the pump panel is beautiful! Great job
2:53 360 degrees of HiViz scene lights plus a remote light tower??? This truck should be named “Genesis 1:3” 🔥🕊
Best rig run down ever

Nice truck 🚒
No expense spared.
Yes, and for a FD which covers nine square miles. No wonder Cali taxpayers are in revolt.
Not a true Truck Company but She is a beauty
Are all TDA's mid mount?
Does it have a regular 5th wheel?
Tiller/Quint for the win!

This thing is fully loaded
Pierce hit it out of the park with this truck
Is it required to wear Vans if you live in CA? Nice review
Explain water tower vs ladder pipe modes PLEASE.

Nice quint.
I would call it a quiller
Quint+tiller= tiller
If that’s how you would like to classify it that is fine
This would not be considered a quint with only 500 gpm. NFPA requires a minimum of 1000.
@@cxfirerescue2592 thanks for the clarification,I’m a firefighter and forgot that detail
I like to call it a Quintiller if it's a Quint and a Tiller.
@@Stargazzer811 This truck has a 300 gallon tank which does meet the NFPA standard but the pump is too small by half & there is not enough hose.
