Truck 6
Truck 6 is back in service! After the 2017 Pierce Arrow XT was returned due to recalls, Castle Beach Fire Department opted to bring back one of the reserve tillers to frontline duty once it returned from a brief refurbishment. Despite its age, the Spartan tiller remains a crew favorite due to its ease of use. Originally ordered during a trial phase, the design of this tiller would play a major role in the setting the Castle Beach tiller spec. The twin of this rig would also serve as a test truck, but was moved to ready reserve status almost immediately. Truck 6 will now operate this 1995 Spartan/LTI tiller for the foreseeable future until the next batch of tillers is ordered.
