(More customer reviews)Excellent background on the development of the aerial ladder truck. This book is 99% dedicated to tillered, or tractor drawn aerials, with a quick look at the new technology of "all steer" apparatus on a single chassis. The true reason to purchase this book is the fantastic photography, the forte of the author. This all color picture book makes a great addition to the other books on modern fire apparatus. Only criticism is this type of book would be much better in a larger format. Special coverage of San Francisco Fire Dept, for those by the Bay.
