Makes sense for places like where I live, and the new streets of new housing they’re building are way too small or too tight of turns to fit even a regular engine through.

The township approved these plans for these neighborhoods and don’t even consider emergency vehicle response…

Don’t believe me? Look up “main st, cranberry township, pa” and look at the streets in that neighborhood. Then google street view them to get an idea of “how the hell do you fit a ladder truck down there”?

With a push bumper and your fire police captain following behind issuing citations.

That’s how.

Get your boy a ticket book.

Edit:

Awww hell, it isn’t even bad.

You should see the truck in Mifflinberg trying to pull it and out, let alone go down the road through the borough.

I know the fire police captain could technically issue citations, but only if the local police provide that necessary police power to him. I don’t think they do here, and by state law, he could, but I think the township and the local police would have a major issue with it.
