Actually wear and tear isn't any more than running pumpers and ladders trucks on calls. You are going to get wear and tear on anything that a department runs. On paper it looks this way, but in real life every thing is always diffrent. St. Louis is making them work. Ft. Worth did, Richmond is also doing the same. Everyone works in some diffrent manner, but it all gets done. Last I heard the city is remaining with this concept. At large fire operations they work well with as many quints on the scene with their aerials up and flowing.

Like the one downtown a few years back right. Quite empressive seeing all those sticks up flowing water and I understand the Mayor of Richmond thought that saved the city.
