Jason and his crew spent two days this week training to drive the Tiller Truck, a.k.a. the 'Hook & Ladder.' They drove it over and over again for hours- through the 'S' turn and a mock lane change, and then backwards through the course also. It looks like a bunch of fun, but this is tricky to drive because if the front driver is turning left, the back driver has to turn right, and vice verse. How confusing!
Here is a video if you'd like to watch. Jason is on the back of the truck, trying not to fly off! hee hee

Awesome! Seriously, they are driving so fast! Wow, I'm impressed with your hubby! It does look like great fun for the "boys"!
how cool! Back in highschool my friends dad let us go to his station and ride a truck like that. We sat in the back and had to turn opposite too, but of course we had someone back there with us, and didn't go nearly as fast! :)
That looks so hard...but if anybody could do it..Jason could! Very cool!
We live right next door to a fire station and it's always kind of fun to watch the truck do this.
Isn't the whole point to not knock the cones down...HAHAHA! J/K!! That looks like so much fun. I would be saying WOOHOOOO the whole time!
Woooaaaa! So this is what you were telling me about. For sure he was exhausted.
Wow that looks awesome! I always say this but your husband has the coolest job!
WOW SON..your Dad is so jealous, he is still waiting for his ride on your fire truck...So Proud of you Jason, I know your careful, but we still worry about you even at your age. Be safe!!! You truly picked the right profession for you! Love ya, Dad and Mom H.
I remember Rod talking about this training. The visual makes for a more complete story.
