Info update on Fairfax County Tiller Ladder Trucks
(Tiller) Truck 429 will go in service on July 27, Truck 410 on October 2. In addition to the usual complement of truck company tools; they will also carry light vehicle extrication equipment including a Holmatro combo tool and power unit, reciprocating saw and some hand extrication tools (Glassmaster etc). The intent of the extrication equipment is to begin extrication efforts prior to the arrival of a heavy rescue. I do not know if they will have any cribbing or step-chocks to assist with stabilization.
