Fast forward a couple of decades later and I realize my dream of joining the brotherhood when I take the oath.I hoped and prayed I would be assigned to one of the few remaining tillers left in the department.But alas, no such luck.

No Tiller!
Well there goes the Tiller Truck. Rear Mounts only.When I think of fire fighters the first picture that comes to mind is of a tiller truck.The Jake in the back,holding that big wheel, travelling down the serpentine streets of the city.As a young boy I watched fire trucks go by and got excited whenever the tiller went by.Besides school dismissal I can't remember much else that got me all goo-goo eyes over.

A tiller would guarantee a least 2 fire fighters staffing the apparatus...look arond today and you will find more and more cities staffing aerials with only a driver. The writing is on the wall...Tillers maybe the only way we can be sure a truck is rolling out with at least 2 people providing a paycheck for their family.
