I’ve never heard of anything like this, very odd. Did they get a new chief or something? Towers offer a lot of advantages on the fireground and Niles geography does not necesitate a tiller.

This is because they want to be able to run a 2 man truck if need be. I doubt it’s about fire ground function.
