Cary Receives First of Two Tillers<\/strong><\/p>\n

On September 1, 2019, the Cary Fire Department received the first of two twin tillers, a 2019 Pierce Enforcer Ascendant 1500\/200\/107-foot. The second is finishing production. Also, a third tiller will be (or has been?) ordered for this fiscal year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Photographer Lee Wilson was on hand, and has posted this and others to this Flickr album<\/a>. See also a\u00a0Farmer 911 Emergency Photography<\/a> on Facebook. They’ve also posted photos and videos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wake Forest Receives Training Tiller<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, the Wake Forest Fire Department also received a tiller. That is, a training tiller. It’s a former Boise Truck 5, a 2007 Crimson\/Spartan, 103-foot ladder, no pump. Top and right are WFFD photos. Bottom is a shot from the GovPlanet listing [Internet archive link: https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20191207083125\/https:\/\/www.govplanet.com\/for-sale\/Emergency-Vehicles-2007-Spartan-Gladiator-Aerial-Ladder-Fire-Truck-Idaho\/2010968]. See a few more pictures there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The department will be training on the truck as they design their new tiller. Over the past several years they’ve looked into a second service company and have decided that a tiller is their best option. Congrats!<\/p>\n

No word if a bushel of potatoes was included in the purchase.<\/p>\n
