I think we need to clarify to the Left-coasters, what is referred to as a brush fire in New York is more like a grass fire in most CA respects. These are not what you're used to seeing, which are more along the lines of "forest fires," with trees and heavy brush involved. Recent large scale brush fires in NYC, including Soundview Park, Gateway Park, Marine Park; all involved mostly large fields of tall grass. Obviously, a tower ladder is not going to be set up downwind for any fires of this type. As an example, TL-77 was set up at today's job in Staten Island at the end of Quintard St. as the fire burned in two directions away from that location. This POV gave the Division an idea of what he had, but more effectively to later check for flare ups after the fire was knocked down. I think you'd probably get a good snicker at what is called a brush fire here.

They use Tower Ladders for suppression and observation.
