WHY TDA
Tractor drawn aerials are one of the most unique and versatile fire apparatus in the national fire service. These apparatus have a long history, dating back to the 1800s and are recognized as the most famous piece of fire machinery when people think of the iconic firetruck.
No other fire apparatus driving down the road provides as much pageantry, tradition, or solicits as much childlike wonder as a tractor-drawn aerial.
