And yes the neighbors all come out looking for smoke when they see it parked out front.
Good time to hand out a few cards eh?

I want this post removed. this is a gross insult.:censored: yet I am written up.
I don't know what is going on between you and JPS[don't care too know either],but you were still worthy of rep.
Love the fire truck.

Thanks, bro.
And I will admit I make inappropriate statements, and mistakes, and can be abrasive. but I will apologize when necessary, and go way beyond the call of duty to do what I feel is right. anyone who has ever worked with me will attest to that.
but if insulted the gloves come off. deal with that.:bringit:
saturday I'm taking the ladder truck to a big neighborhood b-day party, and will be fast rappelling, and doing my special inverted drop, pulling the friction knot with my feet. all to entertain the kids. and their moms.
pictures forthcoming, of course.
unless I'm banned for my honesty.

Did the crane make the picks with the boom over the electrical conductors?

Fire House Tree Toppers
You know I see the difference adding Fire House makes in the message the name conveys. Its subtle ( not like Dave himself it seems) but I saw it.

You have to really say "Fire House" loud and slow and then "Tree Toppers" real quick and low.

:agree2:
What the hell, that is kinda funny.
But here's a pic of the big maple I did top, was a pretty drastic crown reduction.

I like to call that a ground level basal pruning!

Now's here one for debate.
This big silver maple has lost over 50% of the trunk to rot and decay.
another tree company said "It's OK, not a hazard. "
This tree is 80' tall + and has 3 big leaders that spread out wide, in a perfect sail. A LOT of leaves.
and this thing sits less than 100' off the fox river and very close to a house whose owners asked us to examine it. Its not there tree, but a neighbors. It does not threaten the tree owners house.
I told them to send a registered letter advising the homeowner that the tree is a dangerous situation, and give them our estimate.
what do you guys think?

Don't like the business name.
Do like the pics posted so far.
I suspect the small number of clients you may alienate having "toppers" in your business name would be greatly outweighed by the number of clients you would gain 'cos everyone loves a firetruck.
I have to say I have never given any thought to using a firetruck for tree work. I will have to check out what our fire dept does with its retired gear.......

There was a company here that used one with an 85 foot bucket there biggest problem was getting into neighborhoods and they went out of business. I don't see a way to get in to many jobs with something that large but the jobs you could it would be great.

This tree is an accident waitin to happen! Removal is the only clear choice I see based on the extensive decay and proximity to the neighbors home being in the LZ.

fire truck
I can get that fire truck into very tight spaces and down one lane streets with tight corners its unbelievable what you can do with it.It will completely destroy the neighbors home.

Tom meant the maple with the bad bottom would tear the house up.
Not the fire truck.
but with ME driving, all bets are off.:hmm3grin2orange:
