LAFD tractor drawn aerial
A tractor drawn aerial belonging to the Los Angeles Fire Department. This type of fire truck 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, thus the alternate name "tiller truck"). It is often used in areas with narrow streets that prevent longer single-vehicle trucks from entering.Photo credit: Matthew Field
