Bill:
Thank you for your in-sight, a huge help. Yes I 100% agree candidates should be able to seek out their own information. However, if they ask for help and you do not know the answer to it's fullest shouldn't you start to pull from your pool of help? Forums is a great way to do that along with manuals, manufacturers. That is exactly what I did in this instance. By no means did I want to start a shitstorm on a forum. Have a good night and stay safe everyone!

I did find some answers to my questions and I would like to share with everyone just in case you have an E-One 95ft. platform:
1) Describe the capacity of the trucks hydraulic system. The tank holds around 60gallons, the system holds roughly two 55 gallon drums of oil
2) Describe the max. hydraulic operating pressure. 2900psi
3) Describe how the hydraulic fluid is checked and capacity. Ladder must be in transport position and the oil at operating temp.
Have a great day and stay safe everyone!

Good afternoon everyone, I am trying to help my brother and sister firefighters with their promotional packets. I have the following aerial apparatus questions that I am looking for answers to:
1) Describe the capacity of the trucks hydraulic system.
2) Describe the max. hydraulic operating pressure.
3) Describe how the hydraulic fluid is checked and it's capacity.
Any help and answers is greatly appreciated. I look forward to some of your responses and have a great and safe day.

Thank you for the help and advice. On our last engine that we recieved April 30th I specced out the Wide Adz Halligan (Probar) for a married set.

Good Morning everyone, I was wondering f anyone knows what type of Flathead Axe that FDNY uses? The reason that I ask is because I know it is a different style versus a regular Flat Head Axe that you would buy from Akron Brass. Does anyone know, or does your department use their type of flathead axe? I look forward to everyone's input and have a great day,
