[@rolandmiller5456]

A lot of the stuff that we can get now we can also get via federal grants.

@@rolandmiller5456 As long as it's use is justified, get what you need to keep your People in good equipment!

Nice rig!

[@markmullen1852]

Bless all of you in PG County. It's an absolute war zone in some area's.

[@davidfrehlini968]

Mark Mullen. I can still remember many years back the Accokeek, Oxon Hill, Camp Springs, Fort Washington and Temple Hills areas when they were some of the nicest and reasonably safe areas of P.G. County. Now that has all changed and you are right about some areas being a war zone. There is a Street in Accokeek named Biddle Road. The Neighborhood there was at one time called Little Italy. Because we ( Italians ) were the only People living on that Street. Well it is not Little Italy any longer and it is no longer The nice old Italian Neighborhood it once was. It is now a real Ghetto.

Nice trucks. Best of luck with them.

[@davidlittle4971]

Such a beauty

[@jamesrader3329]

Love the truck very nice set up.

[@larrybrown7273]

Well worth the $5M price tag outstanding PG County

[@solarissv777]

sounds like a ripoff. In Europe for this money one could buy almost 5 Magirus M32L-AS (depending on the exchange rate). That have the same length of a ladder, higher tip load, rescue basket and articulated last segment of the aerial. And low cab all steerable short chassis will get into places, this tiller would newer be able to. Yes, European aerials usually do not carry ground ladders, but you could easily use engines or squad trucks (even cheaper) for that.

[@dbyers3897]

@@solarissv777 Larry is being sarcastic. But this is a pricey rig. We Yankees love our big toys.

[@t23001]

The man knows his equipment. Kudos the county and firefighters. Is that the Maryland flag in the grill?

[@PTRRanger951]

Yes it is the MD flag. They are in MD.

[@dbyers3897]

Only 377' of ground ladder? That's more than many depts carry across their entire fleet. 'Strong Work!' as the cliche goes. Or is it 'Reaching New Heights'?

[@jasonlarsen3515]

Proper tiller with short wheel base tractor

[@tsaffran]

shady glen is getting the other tda but you probably already know

[@MrBrandon105123]

Hell of a title. CL600 sounds better.

[@tsaffran]

that is a real nice truck but I'm confused 826 already has a 107 ft rear mount why switch to a tda

[@crystallake6198]

Got to spend that $222M budget somehow.

[@georgecrosby113]

Because you can put a tda into places a straight stick can't go.

[@tsaffran]

@@georgecrosby113 bullcrap

[@tsaffran]

@@georgecrosby113 I work 1 mile from 826 it's wide open country they DON'T need a TDA

[@tsaffran]

@@georgecrosby113 also Mr George instead of driving the rear he could be sitting in the rear mount putting his air bottle on getting ready to go to work tda is antigue

[@dmoersfelder1]

Why don’t they make a tower ladder version of a tiller?

[@TheFS2004guru]

The bucket would block the view of the tiller man. Plus a tower ladder boom sits considerably higher while bedded than a stick does

[@sr6894]

The front spinning light is dumb

[@worldrenowned]

didn’t ask

[@tsaffran]

well I talked to some guys at 826 and I am NOT saying anything so much for tda"s
