Best Answer

The PTO on a firetruck is used to power the pump, which takes water from a water source (tank on the truck, fire hydrant, or drafted water), pressurizes it, and discharges it through various devices (hose, monitors, standpipes, etc.).

On an Aerial or Ladder fire truck, the PTO is used to power the hydraulics and motors that raise, extend, and rotate the ladder.

A PTO can also be used to power a generator, which can be used to power high-intensity scene lights, power tools, fans, etc.
