The Question is know, will they ever use it? I Never saw any American Fire Department Using CAFS or any other Type of Foam System for Burning Cars, Trucks or Burning Big Garbage Container.

@@Sheppart92 Totally would depend on the situation wouldn't it? Maybe their engine is returning from a different call is isn't quite available yet, and this truck may happen to be first on scene. What about if this tiller is returning from a call and comes across a vehicle fire? Many different possibilities to use that CAF system. At least they have the option to start fire suppression until a dedicated suppression rig arrives and takes over. Nothing wrong with being versatile.

I live in Germany and Foam Systems are Standard on almost any tanker, rescue pumper etc. While i watched quite some Videos from America over the years where i never even once saw a Department anywhere using CAFS or other types of Foam Systems to extinguish burning Cars etc. i even saw some Videos where burning fuel was coming out of trucks and all they used was water. Thats where i dont understand the American System. Anywhere Else in the World ( at least Europa, most of Asia) they use those Systems, While American firefighting System has still so many weird or outdated tactics and Technics.

Well i can understand that to some Extent. Even here in Germany and some other European Countrys, Fire Departments use some quite Old Vehicel ( some Departments still use Fire Trucks from the 1960s) but as long as they work without Problems, those Departments happily use them. What i dont understand too is, when i see some of the Fire Trucks with excessiv Amount of Chrome, Tons of Lights and whatnot. Im really no Professional to understand all the Things about how they buy there Trucks and whatnot, but if they would cut that Stuff down a bit, they could use it for other Things. Only a Examples from Germany and the Cost for one of our Standard Unit. They are mostly Standarized, but a Community or City can order some differences or extra Equipment on Vehicels for Extra Costs. For Example, the standard in most Citys, the so called " Hilfeleistungslöschfahrzeuge" ( rescue pumper), type HLF20, costs between 320.000 to 380.000 Euro(387.000 to 460.000 Dollar) and those Trucks have more Equipment than American Engines on Board. I dont know the Costs of Engines and such in America, but it would lower the Costs if they wouldnt equip them with Tons of Lights that they look like Christmas Trees and Tons of Chrome and maybe change some other Small Things.

@@LiamPattisonPhotography you're right I'd rather have it and not use it than need it and not have it remember he said they're a rescue unit also good concept

Also: mirrored ground ladder storage.

Our recent tiller had a top opening saw pocket too. The saw scabbard on the aerial was right there as well so it was easy to load up your vent gear for roof work. Nice feature.

Just that SMFR does not have a tiller

They have Towers

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're really gonna love the ascendant rear mount single axle platform.
