Quote:I see that Fairfax has not been too impressed with the Mid Mounts either.I wonder if they will start buying Tillers from now on out and what model will they be.
The mid-mounts were purchased after a deputy fire chief made a strong push for them. I can truly attest that they were the largest fire trucks that I have ever seen that didn't bend in the middle. The rear-end kick out led to many accidents and the return to purchasing rear-mount tower ladders. Before retirement, I had it on good authority would not see an after-life in the reserve fleet and that they would be traded in for new apparatus when their front line service life was up which should be in 3-5 more years.
