Drifting Fire Truck Caught On Camera 🎥🎥 

I always knew some fire engines had the slide thing buts it's cool seeing it for real

I see someone in the back window.

Yes some one is steering the the back of the tiller

yes a tiller truck

Or Hook and Ladder Truck

thanks alex

Drifting is basically controlled sliding

No shit

r/whoosh

Getting used to being a tiller member. Backing up is the hardest. Turning the wheel basically the opposite direction of the apparatus operator is like 🙃 still trying to wrap my head around it

but it’s cool

Cue the phonk music

They dont do that so they dont flip

Hey, I know this was a year ago, but I want to let you know that the main reason they do this is to take up more lanes so that people can’t pass them. This makes it easier for them to respond to calls and make last minute turns as they don’t have to wait for an inattentive driver to move so that they can switch lanes

It's drifting

Someone finally said the truth

It is so cool

And allows them to make turns at a higher speed without flipping

​@@crispicave1457 does it work on tight turns?

@KM_shipeditz ya they also use it to be more maneuverable in tight city streets

@@crispicave1457 but the only downside is that they can go on limited areas since American fire trucks are too large for some roads

@@KMYTEditsandArts that truck would inly be needed where the building is tall enough to need that tall of a ladder

8 mean they COULD drift but yeah this is just a tiller doing tiller things

1. They would flip over 2. An idiot might try to over take at dangerous speeds

There's a second driver and it's use to block any dumb driver from interfering

America

US Highway/freeway, cloverleaf thing probably

DeKalb georgia

so the truck doesnt flip

Takumi is a firefighter now.. 😅..

the real terminology is "Crab Walking" the Tillerman ( the rear driver)use for this maneuver.
