That tiller goes crazy fast

[@BC41B]

Just goes to show what an experienced tractor operator and tillerman can improve response times. Headsets make communication betw both easier and integral to safe and expedient operations. Fast and unsafe leads to bad results - fast, efficient & SAFE makes the job that much easier! Clearly well trained and experienced operators here! WTG all!!!!!

[@stevenpivornik9982]

@@BC41B That's key thing, especially when it comes to the tillerman. Both ends of the truck have to have trust in each other. Those turns CAN become a life or death thing. Also, to joebobo3030, you think the tiller was going fast? It showed an engine company right behind them. Think about how fast they're going just to keep up. Both first due pieces. Love every minute of the video.

[@charleskirby6143]

Great video! Seems like a long run for a first due company?? Maybe, or a big 1st due response area.

BROTHER, DRIVING IT LIKE HE STOLE IT ! AMAZING JOB ! THANK YOU !

[@ottawaemergencyresponses]

Lol

[@user-ms5vj8ms5l]

believe thats a sister driving;

[@HaythamAlsayed]

Dude put a cinder block on that Q pedal and left it there

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Made for a great intro though!

[@chrisyoungs3896]

That was fascinating! Ladder in his line of sight, moving from side to side and hauling Ass. That man is the real deal. Excellent job!

[@NoChance797]

I don't think I've ever seen the perspective of a tillerman before. That's kinda nuts. Feels like a roller coaster with the ladder and how quickly they took corners.

[@davidcox3076]

Tillerman bouncing around back there. I'm sure it's a fun ride. I'm also sure he spent many hours training before they let him behind the wheel for the real thing. Great work!

[@nlhrabak]

Holy Schmoly! At first I am wondering how this guy can see the road and cars with that ladder hanging in front, then around the first curve, I see the front end of the unit! I guess this explains how caterpillars and millipedes can scamper around without losing their arses----someone must be in charge back there! All kidding aside, VERY cool video! Thanks for sharing!

[@samcaban7229]

Always been my Childhood dream to be a Tillerman, but now I'm just a Firebuff Photographer.Awesome video.

[@jenbrixton6834]

Thankyou absolutely fantastic coverage and explanation of what going on, my not from a firefighters background,but you've made so much easier knowing inwhat is happening. Thankou all for an amazing job well done. Love from the UK ❤️❤️

[@Ryanb1998]

very cool to see i like POV of people driving fire trucks great video

[@mooseriddle]

Serious driving skills on the back end!

[@jamesrader3329]

That was a crazy ride. Loved it.

[@gustavosantin5544]

The very first time I saw a hook and ladder fire truck was in New York City shortly after I arrived in America 🇺🇸. This would be my ride.

[@charlesfisher3983]

That lady is drivinh the hell out of that thing up front. GOOOOOOO GET EMMMMMM BROTHERRRRRRRSSSS

[@G4LIFE74]

Crazy cool view

[@NBfirefighter9493]

Hell ya! Go get em boys! Love the Q!

[@noelfoley7359]

Lovin' the hula wahine! Good-luck charm.

[@jimmeckley6475]

Awesome video

[@Blastable]

just saw fairfax county tiller 410 in the springfield plaza parking lot 😂, reminded me of this video

[@derwolfistda]

After a few videos like this ... I'm sure, a tiller has to be a trained rodeo rider !!

[@jamesrader3329]

There's a lot training that goes into being a tillerman

[@Hurst6969]

cool view

[@nubbyg9096]

York PA here, wish we had career.

[@rwk218]

Great video….let up on the button man!

[@tfefire]

Had to watch the intro a few extra times.

[@Khorne_Flakes8th]

Seeing this makes me sad my department or and departments around don’t have a tiller.

[@rtc719]

I noticed you guys are using IPADs instead of traditional MDT. What response apps do you use on them? We are in the process of setting up a similar setup in our dept.... Love the tiller BTW!

[@mrwonderful2142]

Id be pissed if our local fire department stood on the Q pedal like that

[@adamwilkinson5291]

That’s what happens to us, that’s where we live

[@AssassinIronMan]

You think the truck would have a camera at the front so the tiller can see better but nope. They didn’t think of it.

[@waymor2460]

Did the button stick on the fed q siren?

[@EmergencyResponseChronicles]

The captain operates the Federal Q and horn.

[@waymor2460]

@@EmergencyResponseChroniclesYeah I get it, been in that seat. When the siren stays pegged to the floor it means the OIC is a little excited 😂.

[@waynefanslau1978]

Well that was fun to watch!

[@dcentral]

Is this an older truck? I hope newer trucks provider a less bouncy ride in the back, with better shock absorbing seats.

[@micotsaynes]

Is that a Ride along

[@donaldrust4121]

Must be another volunteer response with all that Q usage…🤣🤣🤣

[@tomatoes3]

Must be a strange feeling being in the rear like that. How much training do they have before being allowed on a real call ?

[@tonyrowland9216]

my dept, Seattle fire, used to have a tiller man driving course that was about 50 hrs for the basic course and then refresher through the dept.

[@tomatoes3]

@@tonyrowland9216 Thanks for that .

[@tsaffran]

Wow was that a female driving the engine Bad Ass

[@lpssamantha7219]

Bouncy ride lol😂

[@kth611]

That’s a lot of mechanical siren usage.

[@virgilhilts3924]

The key being *improper* siren usage 😉

[@EmergencyResponseChronicles]

​@@virgilhilts3924 It was a fire response. The captain had to step on the Q Siren pedal because it was urgent.

[@virgilhilts3924]

@@EmergencyResponseChronicles And doing so is literally the least effective way to use them

[@EmergencyResponseChronicles]

@@virgilhilts3924 True.

[@chrismcintyre182]

STILL THE BEST SEAT ON THE TRUCK NO ?

[@virgilhilts3924]

Yet another Engineer who doesn't know how to properly operate the Q 🙄 Maxing them out is not how they are designed to operate, it is also the least effective, which is why they use a momentary switch They are designed to be driven up and then free roll back down, this is to cover the most frequency range

[@Chris-cd6ry]

This is a great video from the tiller operators perspective. However, the company officer clearly has no idea how to operate the Q2B siren. He needs to operate it within the tonal range.

[@MoparGuy1625]

Guys need to understand pinning the Q isn’t effective at all. Yea, it sounds awesome but after awhile it becomes white noise and people become immune. Need to ramp up and down.
