I think it would be fantastic to have the platform trucks be able to handle calls that don't require water. For example: Tree on Roadway, Gas Leak, any of the road accidents, person under tree, etc. Otherwise the platform truck sits around and takes up space. This would free the engines for all fire calls so you don't have a room turn into a collapse while an engine is sitting doing a tree on bikeway.

A qunit is great for that. But you can't get them early on. Also, platforms are cheaper and maybe more cost effective for certain ways of playing.

It's true. Typically a ladder/truck has saws for ventilation, thus they would be good to handle these calls. Quite frankly they're better suited in real life than Engines, but I understand why Engines are the requirement.
