Im not into any argument about this, its just disgraceful that some of you would reply like that.

Although not involved in the design of this rig it has been discussed for quite some time. MA-10 has always been a unique rig with much to offer not only to the residents of Millwood but to anyone in need of mutual aid. The current MA-10 with 750gpm pump and 1000+ feet of 4 inch hose could go places that a traditional Class A pumper couldn't and provide nearly as much capacity. With a good water supply I personally have pumped over 1000gpm through it. Unfortunately, not many other departments recognized (despite our efforts to let its capabilities be known) that this was more than a typical 200-400gpm brush truck / mini pumper.
The new rig will undoubtedly take the next step in providing even greater versatility and firepower by doubling the amount of water to 300gal and increasing the pump capacity to 1000gpm. Although the rig will be slightly longer due to it being a crew cab, the addition of 3 more firefighters and air paks will make this rig a fully functioning engine and create a great all terrain all weather suppression unit. It's perfect for operating in gated driveways, narrow alleys, off road behind large residences, static water sources, etc.
Even though I no longer live in Millwood, I would encourage Northern Westchester departments to learn as much about the capabilities of this rig as possible and see where it might be of beneficial use... I believe Goldens Bridge has similar capabilities with E139 also carrying LDH and having a 1000gpm pump on a F550 chassis.

Boston had a fire today in the Roslindale section of the city. The fire was in the 3rd floor of a 6 family. The street was very narrow making access for the ladder companies interesting. One of the occupants of the house walked by me and her daughter was asking what she was going to do for toys now! Multiple companies on scene for 2 hours along with BPD and BEMS.

Hey I was just wondering has there ever been another ladder exactly like this one from White Plains as it is rare and very different. And I know it was done by the city but just wondering if there is another truck close or just like it.

and no traffic along the way.. someone good better be on one of the rigs that gets assigned to it, because the chief wil be way behind, traveling from another county or the other end.. when i was dept they only allowed us to go 10 miles out of our jurisdiction. Strange how much has changed.. including the chief cars too. We had highways and they gave us 1 lightbar and a bubble light on the back end of the roof. Nowadays they give you a christmas tree.. anyhow thats another story..

I don't think the test is for the physical answer maybe it's to test the ability to find the info in the proper place. Getting the right answer ment you went to the right place. Stick with the manual that came with the truck or check with the manufacturer things can change even if it's just the year of the the truck.

JM15 is right. This would vary by manufacturer. The information can also be found in the trucks operators manual.
