This is a very good question! Ladders, or trucks are equiped with very large ladders that extend from the truck but do not come off. They are also known as sticks, buckets, towers, quints, hook&ladders, and tillers. Tillers require two drivers. Ladders depending on their size can hold two firefighters or more at the top and spray water from the mounted nozzel. Engines or pumpers carry hose, tools and pump water. The engine can also carry ladders, but they are set up by the fire fighters and can be carried around.

Busiest fire engine?
First, I want to clarify the difference between fire engines and trucks... engines have the water and hoses. The trucks have ladders and extrication tools. Yes there is a difference, and we firefighters take it seriously. OK now to your question, the busiest apparatus (engine or truck) often changes from year to year depending on the calls answered by any particular company. Are you talking the busiest in a certain city, or the entire nation? The best way to research the busiest fire companies is by searching through "firehouse" magazine run totals. They list the busiest companies from each city every year. Hope this helps some. Respectfully submitted, H&L 20 Chicago
