World's Coolest Fire Truck

[sk81630180]

its just a tiller

[shadow200196]

its not a ladder its a tiller, and its the worst, you use 2 guys which one could help with truck opps if it was a ladder

[Jakerz64]

@shadow200196 what are you talking about? what truck ops are occurring while they are responding that the guy steering the tiller could be doing instead? He can and does still do any truck ops once they get on scene. its a great apparatus for areas that are harder for ladders to maneuver

[cragar92]

that was sweet

[H20Op]

Did I miss the worlds coolest engine? All I saw was a boring typical tiller...

[MegaVadZik]

watch?v=5LG52ltFq4Q&feature=re­lated wach this is the best)

[trainguy3]

I love tiller ladders, they are the coolest, and its not an engine, noob

[atzigmund]

That is one kick ass fire engine. I know Kent Fire Dept must really proud of their equipment

[twit101]

@atzigmund not an engine :) its a ladder

[azul8811]

@twit101 Correct!

[one4themartyr]

ya seriously...google tiller truck for 1.5million over videos of the same thing...hardly the coolest...

[TheFallenFirefighter]

Dude this is a cool ladder/ Truck wish we had them in Aus but we mostly have Brono sky lift ladders (48m)

[commandonehf]

tiller FTW

[Fitch721]

Looks exactly like Mountain View, Calif. T 1

[reddingsdienst101]

thats what you/i call: the coolest firetruck!!! yea

[zogh]

@Rofocowboy84 First of all, it's not an "engine", it's a tiller truck. Secondly, you obviously missed the fact this is a promotional video for the manufacturer, posted by a fanboy of many things. So what if he\she gets over excited & misses a few points in the details. The important thing is they love the subject enough to post something about it.

So chill out you twunt.

[N8Ryder]

Nice rear steer. Really gets around tight places easily!!!

[MrCriticOfAll]

Forget the knockers mate,That's a great clip and because you posted it before they did they knock you for it.Cheers.

[pcfd20]

An here i thought ours was the coolest.. btw an attack line is all one needs to get a cat out of a tree, trust me.

[armyhobo12]

welcome to kent ohio

[robcas1954]

I would'nt roll out 500,000 plus to save any cat !!!

[internetmachine1]

youtube makes people so little

[Xxslayer410xX]

yeah there nothing special about the ladder truck its just a nother ladder haha

[hiriderjockblock]

Good stuff, nice vid

[jpbnuangel]

Awesome driving!!!

[TheExoticGod]

This brings a whole new meaning to drifting..

[Gamer4051]

Imagine being in the back steering. Must be damn hard

[terraria103]

Alright lets see the 2 drivers nav this thing in perfect sync at high speeds in an urban enviornment

[mrkillingkiller999]

@terraria103 they do that almost everyday in new york and boston and other big cities like that

[markcarey06]

@terraria103 this truck is designed for "urban areas" where tight turns are needed. These two drivers working together are nothing short of an art.

[Moose82690]

@terraria103 Its a tiller ladder truck its not made for high speed areas, places like NYC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C, Baltimore ect have them, they are city settings your not getting those trucks above 40 and u dont do a turn in apparatus at 60 mph u slow down. The water weight or ladder weight can roll you over quick and easy.

[Awesomewolfpic]

a normal firetruck with a ladder on it can get a cat from a tree but they would just use a ladder that not attach to there truck XD

[cocoluvmuffin5]

its not an engine its a ladder and its ladder 74 to be exact...or to those who actually understand the lingo L-74

[catguy4]

They should make these for semi trucks with longer than usual trailers.

[Emtfirefighter4life1]

Don't get me wrong its cool, but not the coolest. Nice video!

[freeamericausa1]

Learned a long time ago from a now..deceased Fire Chief. Cats climb tree's, and they can climb down when they get hungry. But my experience with cats from the late 70's, with that Chief....Send a pumper to a cat in tree...use booster line to convince cat...being wet that high ain't healthy. Ladies will complain, and declare animal abuse....but the Cat always managed to reach ground level...on all 4's.

[ModeraterX]

lol tiller ladder... not engine and far from the coolest in the world.. nice tl though

[FPVsean]

That's truly the dog's bollox of fire trucks

[bonedeath11]

Its a latter truck...?

[hockypimp]

@bonedeath11 actually its "ladder" and but technically its a"tiller". used in most places with tight roads such as New york city

[azul8811]

@hockypimp Actually, NYC has but a handful of tiller trucks in service. At one time, they all were tiller apparatus... for the very reason you mention. I don't recall when the 1st Tower Laddders were placed in service, but I believe it was the mid 1960's. The plan was to have 1/3 of the trucks tillers, 1/3 rear mounts and the remaining 1/3 tower ladders, but that's not what happened. Now they are mainly rear mounts and tower ladders.

[OMBIC]

WOW, I WANT 2 :) WOOT this is very cool :)

[thewhistler]

Has anyone ever found a Cat Skeleton in a tree?

Just wondering..

[Mr7Firedog]

@thewhistler yeah happened to me once.Had a women and a bunch of kids stop by the station. Cat in a tree,no big deal,but the chief said no. Thats when I said "after all did you ever see a cat skelton in a tree,". We all laugh.Including women. An hour later same women, and now crying kids. Cat fell and got impaled on a branch!

[thewhistler]

@Mr7Firedog

Not the fire departments fault., climbing trees is natural for cats, and you can't stand in the way of Darwinian natural selection. Some of them are smart enough to learn that they can climb down the same way they came up by going tail first, since thier claws turn inwards. Also cats can fall from great heights, a 95% survival rate at 5.5 stories. So I think that its not worth the tax payer dollars to send a team out on the off chance a cat might get impalled.

[thewhistler]

@thewhistler also not to mention, it is likely the cat will be up there again the next day.

[IXIArblargIXI]

Pretty bombass tiller. It wouldn't be used to get a cat out of a tree though, we don't do that anymore. Ever seen a cats skeleton up in a tree? Neither have we. I've also seen some tower ladders with independent rear axles, able to go sideways down a street.

[tygrd]

Gymkhana???

[HFD97FIRE2]

U wish it was

[ezellellis50]

]ojhhjjujuijuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[FmasterJG]

The only other fd I know that has tandem axle tillers is Seattle. Is the Kent FD in Washington? Piggy-backing orders always saves a little money.

[FSXMAO]

it's just a tiller ladder. pretty common.

[Rofocowboy84]

First of all, it's not an "Engine", it's a Ladder. Secondly, there are hundreds of tillers like that in service, it's nothing special, much less "World's Coolest".

[medlife07]

@Rofocowboy84 No need to be harsh. It was probably filmed by a civilian. Most people dont know when to call it a ladder, tower, engine, or pumper. And I think they were just talking about tillers in general, not just that one.

[seagrave23]

@Rofocowboy84

good for you

[kevinchajka2010]

@Rofocowboy84 airport engines i think are the coolest

[ExplorerPost20]

@Rofocowboy84 its not a ladder its a truck lol

[Rofocowboy84]

@ExplorerPost20

All depends on where you're at...

[Griiig]

@ExplorerPost20 a ladder is a truck theyre the same thing but then you can get into the different classifications of ladders such as towers, ladders, tower/ladders, etc.

[mmmbrownie]

@Rofocowboy84

there should be a video about you called "worlds coolest guy who knows everything"

[Rofocowboy84]

@mmmbrownie

You think so? I think that sounds like a great idea, I shall contact the Discovery Channel...

[acds413]

@Rofocowboy84 it is when its drifting...

[MrGarrett223]

@Rofocowboy84 Buzz Kill!

[BearStar1]

@Rofocowboy84 it's a Aerial Ladder Unit

[hiriderjockblock]

@Rofocowboy84 I like how a 26 year old VOLUNTEER firefighters comes on here and tries to school a kid about a Fire Truck. Your pathetic buddy, you dont deserve to be a FULL time fire fighter

[Rofocowboy84]

@hiriderjockblock

According to the rules of proper use of the English language, when an elision is used to form a contraction, an apostrophe is used, ie "you are" becoming "you're"...unless you actually are talking about my pathetic buddy...

Thank you for your time.

[dant387]

@hiriderjockblock not to start any arguments but volunteer fire fighters play a big role in communities and townships. we do just as much as full time guys and dont get paid for it

[hiriderjockblock]

@dant387 someone sensative? Listen pal tell me where i said a Volunteer Firefighter and a Full time Firefighter differ. How about you take off your stupid 26 year old remark down grading a 12 year old's Youtube site. Hense me saying you dont deserve to be a full time FF, meaning you wouldnt have been so quick to judge dick head and maybe just enjoyed the kids vid for what it is or isnt.

[dant387]

@hiriderjockblock did you even read ur comment...?

[esky15]

@dant387 Exactly! In Canada, about 80% of the countries firefighters are volunteers.

[camhesse1]

@Rofocowboy84 dude just shut up..... you never know who this is either geared for or who actually made it... and he might not know as much as others about fire "engines" and fire trucks...

[RipFlm]

@Rofocowboy84 Do you think you're cool?

[AdamB9098]

@Rofocowboy84 Hey asshole, that truck is cool to the person who made the video. My company's engine is the coolest to my kids. Give the guy a break why don't you, he's proud of his FD. Think next time before you post.

[AwesomeChineseBoy]

@Rofocowboy84 r u jealous?

[Rofocowboy84]

@AwesomeChineseBoy

Nope, I've been on apparatus a whole lot cooler than that....

[kumaritokyoska]

tillers

[bluecoatscheesypoofs]

That's cool. Personally, I like Seagraves more but this is still a good truck

[niterider460]

thats kool however thats not classified as an engine

[niterider460]

thats badass

[TheFireHornLLC]

That's a Tractor Drawn Aerial, and this one definitely wins our vote for World's Coolest Fire Truck.

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@TheFireHornLLC still like the Rosenbauer Panther much better

[Showgirl7able]

That is one amazing truck!

[2L84PRAYN]

Rear steer fire trucks used to be common in US cities.

[ed2135az]

Thank you KFD and to all of our Fire Fighter Heroes !!!

[Enrique24592]

fuckin transformer !

[MrCallaghanC]

You mean if a cats stuck at the top of a 12 story building!

[gta3plyr]

@MrCallaghanC Then you spray it with that nifty hose and it comes down!

[dicksmith6187]

Thats not a fire engine it's a truck, and have you ever seen a cats skeleton in a tree?

[ffjsb]

@dicksmith6187 Exactly. We're not going to send a million dollar truck for friggin' cat in a tree.

[joek0617]

@ffjsb why not?

[ffjsb]

@joek0617 Because they eventually come down on their own. Not to mention the risk of injury to a firefighter trying to grab a frightened, pissed off cat out of a tree.

[wannabenj]

is that a 100ft ladder?

[receo11]

3 axle tractor with out pump. weird

[themooseisontheloose]

tillers are cool, if i was a truck man, i would love to drive the back end of one

[AtlJake]

@GayBoyRunning: Just in case you are nottrolling, I;ll spell it out for you. With the tillered ariel, you can turn tighter corners than a truck half it's length. The entire point of the driver in the rear is to allow that 100 foot ariel to negotiate streets that most other fire trucks can't. If you have ever seen a competent pair of drivers take one of these through a crowded city street, it would make your jaw drop.

[dimitriweemhof]

haha drifting skills with that thing

[95wal]

nice!!

[DanDaMan99X]

TILLERS FTW!

[MacBoznyII]

Never seen a tiller with tandems :P

[larrywanders]

@MacBoznyII Tandem axles on the truck chassis yes, but those are Super Singles on the rear, one tire and one wheel at each mount. A total of eight tires and wheels for the truck :)

[MacBoznyII]

@larrywanders Yeah, I meant I've never seen a tiller with tandem axles lol. I should've been clearer. It's really cool though

[i999harris9]

is this kent ct?

[ExplorerLT45]

You should Check out Clearwater Fire Rescue Truck 45.

[FirekidE62]

Its called a Tiller ladder there are thousands of them in service (this particular model [A pierce quantnum] is very advanced) most can preform the duties of A rescue truck Pumper truck ladder truck etc.

[1MRTS]

Love the ladders... Bronto Skylifts are cool also. the largest can reach 100meters and with pumps.

[Arabhacks]

What is cool is a crash truck with the 4 steerable axles.

You can do donuts with the center rotating on its axis.

You can drive the thing nearly fully sideways!

[onebdma]

It's a tiller truck chech out a airport rig their beter

[duffy1285]

with that truck you can be a roadhog

[157films]

lovin the tandem axle

[penguin4587]

wow thats great fire truck , i wish my town could have it

[jordan1210]

Tiller

[bricktownfiredept]

That's what my local dept. uses!!!

[tom79g]

That thing is awesome - we don't have the need for a tiller where I'm at but I wish we had one anyways

[ChillyWillyChris]

Wow ... Very Nice ... Its freaky but great :)

[alexgonick]

i love tillers. they rule haha.

[ladderboy21]

And this is why i run with  a tiller. Even better its a Pierce to!!

[miguelguey101]

common in la to see them



[ENGINERESCUE62]

called a tiller ladder

[bombdizznizzles]

whats so awesome about that? i have lots of those at my neighborhood firestation

[iceman977th]

Good way to clear the lanes adjacent to you.

[GayBoyRunning]

Thats a waste of road space with this ladder trucks. i saw European, Asia & Australasia Ladder trucks that are more technological advance then these stone age American ladder trucks. I like the NSWFB Platform Ladder trucks that are many used here in Australia.

[iceman977th]

@GayBoyRunning They take as much room as they need, & they get the job done. If you don't like that they take up so much room, maybe you should make room for them like a good driver should do...

[GayBoyRunning]

@iceman977th Platform trucks dont use much space & get the job done faster

[chris71mach1]

most ladders tend to be about 100ft tall....how tall is this one fully extended? (cause it really does look taller than 100ft)

[xx6pure6evil6xx]

@chris71mach1 this one is also 100ft.. most Tiller or Tractor Drawn Aerial's are 100 ft.

[ScarletandGrey4ever]

uh cats will come out of a tree on there own they will not let anyone touch them.

[19doddsy90]

how much ill take 2  ?

[thelolmachine27]

I love how American firefighters funded by tax are hero's. Yet the idea of social doctors funded by tax will result in millions dying?

[resqjason2]

@thelolmachine27 its because dr's get into it for the money. dr's make 200-300,000 a year after 10 years of college. firemen make 50-60,000 depending on the city. also firemen arent required to carry a million dollar malpractice policy because people sue dr's left and right. drs also have an amazingly high workload. they can be at the hospital 12-18 hours a day EVERYDAY seeing people non stop.

[resqjason2]

@thelolmachine27 if the govt takes over and says all the dr's are only going to make 100k a year but you will see MORE people because now everyone has the ability to go to the dr office or hospital, more work will not equal more money like it does now. all of the senior dr's will say F-this and retire. nobody will want to become a dr now and that will leave all the poor bastards that just got out of school with 500,000 of student loans to pay off stuck with ALL THE WORK.

[resqjason2]

@thelolmachine27 there will be less dr's with double and triple the workload they have now. people will have to wait longer to see a dr. as it is if you walk into the ER in my city youll sit 2-3 hours on average. now imagine sitting there for 1-2 days in the waiting room to see a dr. PEOPLE WILL DIE WAITING FOR A DR. youll call your dr office because you dont want to go to the ER and you will wait 3-6 months like they do in canada and some european countries now.

[thelolmachine27]

@resqjason2 For the first time ever I am lost for words. I have spent 15 minutes trying to think of a reply to your comment but 500 letters cannot undo a lifetime of misinformation.

All I can say is that for 6% of my wage I get “GENUINE 100%” healthcare coverage with no exceptions, no exemptions, no premiums, no endorsements, no top-ups and no excess!

[PFR616]

UGH Jesus Christ people if your gonna make a comment get it right its NOT!!!!!!! a engine its 1)ladder 2) tiller 3)hook & ladder 4)truck it depends on where your from.....but NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a engine

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@BFD2245 always seems funny to me that the US 100ft aerial is so much bigger(longer than the german 100ft aerial. Of course we got also gibber ones than our average 100ft aerials, like the 120ft aerials, 170ft platforms and the 367ft. platform (until now only one 367 in whole Germany)

[68Engine68]

@sloFF25 XT is the way to go.

[ken10055]

not an engine its a truck 

[guyjr247]

its a  quantam it is gay

[dangerjp]

Looks like a 2009 Pierce Tractor drawn aerial. The cab is on a Pierce quantom chassis and its a duely. The ladder looks to be a 95 footer

[Bludragon51]

now that truck is something i can handle

[rrobertsnot5150]

That's a normal tiller truck. I don't see anything so special about it.

[Xyoutubx3rsunit]

ive seen those 2 drivers eh articulated long ass ladder hydro pumped water hoses stands

[brokenToastable]

what the hell? 

[EnjoyFirefighting]

wow that one looks cool!!

there are now some aerial ladders in Germany that have a seperatly steared axle at the rear, the biggest one (19 meters / 62 feet long and up to 112 meters / 367 feet high) has 4 of 7 steared axles

[ICEMANof92]

lol as a member of a fire dept and a fire buff i just cant resist the temptation to say this...sorry in advance. its not an engine. its a truck. ok . sorry.  lol.

[BlindHunte]

A real hero

[GayBoyRunning]

Remenber NSW Fire Brigade in Australia are World Beaters at Fire Fighting. They have the Awards to Proved it that there World Beaters !!!

[wbasc]
