Re: Tankers and Ladders
We call them pumper tankers and the trucks that have water on them are referred to as quints.
Re: Tankers and Ladders
May I suggest that one of the ladders be changed to a quint aka a ladder that also carries a small amount of water that could be used to cover both the ladder and engine just like squad covers squad and engine. With that though I would keep the tiller as just a ladder unit as most often the ladders with the larger sticks often dont carry a water supply and need to be feed by an engine.

I’d also add in versatility for ladders, on mvas a ladder could be used along with an engine instead of needing 2 engines
Re: Tankers and Ladders
I agree with the above about trucks vs. multiple pumpers. In our fire department trucks carry special equipment that pumpers don't have (i.e. HURST/jaws of life, thermal imaging camera, gas meters, etc.)
