Cool
My dad was a fireman (retired 10 years ago) but I remember when their hall got a new 100' ladder truck. I was extreamly impressed with the quality and construction of it. He said it was manafactured by a company in Cal. IMO you guys deserve the best equipment that money can buy and I take my hat off to all those that risk their lives to protect others.

 

Sweet truck Mike!!

We just got our new Engine a couple weeks ago, darn it's nice to have a show truck aint it?

On edit: Ours has the same Chassis cab as yours, really nice.

 

Yeah...This is the 2nd truck we've replaced and the third pierce we've bought in a row...SUPREEM quality....

 

My dad was a volunteer firefighter for our county. He was the driver for the fire truck on our end of the county. The first one was a 70's Ford 5 or 600 that had a water tank bed mounted to it. And that truck died in 97 or 98 (official fire chief for our end rolled it) and was replaced with an (84 I think) International 4900 DT-466. The bed was newly built but it was of the same fassion (it's a brush truck it doesn't have to be fancy) and a bumper and grille guard was added to it. That truck was referred to as the "go any where truck". Between the big tires, big low end power coupled with a water tank that was really light for the truck and not enough when fighting fire, and the bumper and grille guard that truck has climbed cliffs that you would fight to get up on foot, and gone through pasture fences where the posts used to be standing before the bumper found them.

 

Does it come in any other colors?
Where is the swing out BBQ grill, and beer tap?

Nice truck.

 

Ahem, what kinda motor is that under the hood???

 

Exactly, ours has a 400HP Cummins ISL, I take it Mike didn't have a say in it?

 

Detroit Diesel Series 60 w/ 455 H.P.

 

No I didnt have a say in it...Its a detroit, and i believe its got a charger on it

Shovel, our firehouse, is a dry campus tho, we've pondered the idea of a bench to put on one of the 4 reciever hitch

 

Nothing wrong with a detroit 60 in a fire truck, they will pump water all day long just like a cummins, just might leak a little more than a cummins .

 

Mike what brand of extrication equipment is your Dept. running? Mine has Holmatro tools.

 

That one aint gunna be pumping any water.

 

Yeah she aint pumping water...lol...On that truck only were using Centaur Rescue Tools but the rest are equipped with another brand....Im getting stuck on the name, but if u notice the front bumper is equipped with two hose reels, for direct accsess on an accident scene

 

It could be pumping water, our rescue here, a 02 Peirce Dash has a 500gpm pump on it. So in theory a rescue can pump water if it was equipped with a pump.
