I gotta ask. What Was/Is the big desire/need for Cab Mounted Turrets on engines?

The older rigs you see them on were departments that had an airport in their community or were immediately adjacent to an airport. I think there might have been some Federal funding involved.
The Boston rigs are part of a Federal mandate, and are on the rigs that are first due to the tunnels of I93 and the Mass Pike.
