Switchback radius for fire truck

Switchback radius for fire truck

Switchback radius for fire truck

(OP)
Without being presumptious, let me introduce myself.  I'm employed as Fire Marshal for Benton County, WA, and I'm looking for help in determining switchback criteria for two types of trucks.  One will be a typical fire truck and the other would be a tractor trailer rig.  

Can you help?

Do you know of a person or a free software in which various truck  meashurements can be provided and a switchback design is produced?

Thanks, and have a Very Merry Christmas.

Ken
