Temecula Tiller truck

A very nice Tiller truck (T73) from the Temecula Fire Department.

A "Tiller" truck, a semi-trailer carrying a turntable ladder, requires two drivers. It has separate steering wheels for front and rear wheels (the steering device for the rear is sometimes a tiller rather than a true steering wheel). This truck is often used in areas with narrow streets that prohibit longer single-vehicle trucks from entering.

Tractor is a KME - Kovach Mobile Equipment. The ladder could be anything.
