Turning a FW around in a Culdesac
We keep our FW in a storage area about 5 mi from our house. It's not terrible, but loading for trips, water etc, gets to be a bit of a pain. It would certainly be easier to bring to the house to load....

Big Firetruck can do it you can also.
What's "big"?
100" aerial w/tiller = yes...piece of cake! (Tractor/trailer with steered rear wheels).
The steered rears make the/a big difference between him & them.
The 85' Snorkel (48' 6" long) I drove, would not.
Among other reasons, that's why FDs in communities with PRD (private residential developments - narrow streets & cul-de-sacs) go to aerial apparatus with tillers for their Truck Companies.
OP - save your equipment! Practice making "adjustments" as/if needed.
