This is our second episode in the series. We'll be launching about a dozen more Wheels Wednesday videos over the next several months to share more information on our various apparatus and how they help our firefighters respond to all types of emergencies in San José. We hope you'll come back each week for more!
A note on this video: Not all fire departments in Santa Clara County have this type of truck, and depending on fire department, the make/model/length/width of the truck may be different. For example, CalFire Santa Clara Unit (SCU), which is based in the southern part of Morgan Hill along Monterey Highway (also does all-risk services for that city and much of rural Santa Clara County as well as in the East Bay and western parts of San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties) has a truck (T57) in addition to their Type-1 engine (E57) based at El Toro Station in North Morgan Hill, which also responds to events in South San Jose when crews from Stations 18, 27, & 35 can’t make it in time, especially due to the large rural area between Morgan Hill and San Jose. The difference between SJFD’s nine trucks and CalFire SCU’s truck in Morgan Hill is the width of the truck similar to a Type 1 engine, but uses a 105-ft ladder (this and others are noted from one CalFire SCU’s Instagram posts particularly for station tours). SJFD also noted that T35 occasionally does respond to areas in Morgan Hill and San Martin as well (as is E18/WT18, E35, & E27/627); this was likely the case in at least 2 of the incidents in the city of Morgan Hill - one of which was most notable for 3 cars fully engulfed in flames on Wright Ave (if SJFD can remember) and another just north of Morgan Hill city limits (on Live Oak Ave near Monterey Highway). If SJFD has more videos planned on the TH-cam channel, I strongly suggest taking a tour of what happens when any SJFD fire/truck unit needs to go out of service, such as for a mechanical issue; try videoing at a fire station that hasn’t been profiled before. For instance, perhaps tour the mechanical shop that services fire engines of all types. While videoing the out-of-service issue, I suggest answering the question on TH-cam - whether SJFD trucks using either biodiesel or a high cetane diesel fuel, and whether they are using Neste or Propel Fuels for SJFD diesel trucks (or E85 when possible for flex-fueled vehicles). Who knows - this might be the next “Wheels Wednesdays” segment! Thank you for letting the general public like myself view videos and I hope there are more SJFD videos posted in the future. While most stuff like the mechanical shop is generally off limits to the general public, I hope that more TH-cam features on SJFD will be added in the future, such as the fire dispatchers directing fire engines to the scene of an incident of any type.
I don't really get tillers. Tillers are so big, about 60'. There are 100' mid mounted ladders with lengths about 45'. Some trucks even have water tanks and pump panel.

There are definitely pros and cons to tillers, as with every apparatus. Their long body allows room for more equipment and they are very effective for urbanized areas, for example.
I wonder if the truck carries hoses in order to help the engine

Both fire engines and fire trucks can do fire suppression, but fire trucks often focus on search and rescue, ventilation, forcible entry, securing utilities, and overhaul of the fire. However, this can change depending on the nature of the incident. If needed, a truck can indeed support a fire engine.

Very informative video, interestingly told about what tools are in the fire truck, how they are used! Thanks for the movie!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb! Thank you for the informative video with clear explanations! A stellar engine operated by a talented and hardworking team! Thank you!
