Posted November 2, 2017 I know for my entire career (31 years) the mechanics have always taken a beating trying to keep the equipment on the streets. Rsqfxr, i can assume you may be a mechanic and I want to thank you for your hard word and dedication. It is the gold badges as well as the bean counters who try to do more with less.

With new housing developments being built with smaller streets, it's extremely difficult to get a huge rear mount tower in there. Especially with cars parked on the street. Not to mention driving through heavy city traffic. Tillers here in AZ. haven't caught on with the exception of Buckeye, and they definitely need it for the community of Verrado, which has very narrow streets. Most depts. probably prefer a tower for safety reasons, but a tiller will get you into tight spots. On Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at 10:31 AM, EMT_FS46 said: Will city ever go back to seagrave ? Hopefully and Burbank and Pasadena as well as the FDNY have ordered Seagraves recently and great to see New York using them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing has changed on the remaining 24 from the initial one. I think its just the angle of the photo of these two that makes it look slightly different.
