Had a couple of friends in town from the east coast for a buffing weekend in Kansas City. It was productive.

Pumper 24 make this a working fire. Truck 10 on scene going to the roof and inside. Pumper 24 we have heavy heat on second floor have 10 Truck meet us and hook celling. Car 104 on scene in command. Car 104 confirms working fire. 

 

beeeeeep Air Wagon 1, Car 120 (EMS), Truck 5 for RIT working house fire 2501 Myrtle on arrival rig radios A5 portables C5. 

 

 

Truck 10 from Fire House 23 one of the many reasons tillered ladder trucks contrbuite to fire ground efficiency. 



 

 

Pumper 18 in reserve pumper 4. Ladders up two ways off the roof, two section 35ft and 100ft Aerial Ladder. 



 



 

 

Truck 10 from Fire House 23 A-B corner to the roof. 



 

 

This is why real ladder trucks are dry and bend in the middle. Try this with a Quint hahahah



 

Truck 10 Fire Apparatus Operator, FAO and FAO Tillerman are the roof team. All KCFD trucks split on arrival Capt and Fireman inside and FAO and Tiller or FAO and Fireman to the roof. it is extremely rare to see the midtown and eastside truck companies wear bottles or masks on the roof. They also most often still open up with axes. Nice set of ladder stack tips no power cone fog here!!! One flaw of these tillers is the fly pipe nozzle had to be turned for stowing. This is due to not enough room between the tip and tillerman cab.
