FDNY apparatus placement

I spent 20 years of my 30 years in FDNY Tower Ladders. The placement of TL-121 is outstanding and show great foresight in thinking about what area the TL Bucked may need to reach. Generally, if it all possible BACK a Midmount or Rear Mounted Tower Ladder into the fire building/s, this increases the "Scrub Area" of the TL Bucket. The "Scrub Area" = The area height wise and width wise the Tower Ladder bucket can touch. This is also true with aerial ladder unit generally. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired
