FDNY also picked up 10 or 12 95' TL's. I thought the bids were announced together.

How does FDNY decide which areas get Tillers?

are the seagrave trucks that FDNY uses a good truck or are they the lowest bidder?

Tillers in the city are in areas that only really need them nowadays, either because of the response area or the firehouse requirements. Just off the top of my head,

Manhattan: L5, L6, L20 (all in lower Manhattan with very tight intersections and heavy traffic - sometimes it seems like an engine can barely get through) L34, L40 (upper Manhattan with basically similar areas)

Bronx: L39 (a few tight streets in Woodlawn)

Brooklyn: L101, L104, L106, L118 (in the northeast "old" sections of Brooklyn), L147, L175 (again tight streets in their response areas)

Queens: L143 (needs a tiller just to get in/out of quarters). L173 until recent years had a tiller but the apparatus floor couldn't take the weight of a tiller anymore.
