Reliance

I am just wondering how big some territories are. Ours in Nova Scotia, Canada is 293 square miles or 180 square kilometers out of one fire station with 3 pumpers, 2 tankers, 1 platform, 1 Rescue, 2 utilities, 1 support trailer and one HAZ MAT trailer. The first out pumper is manned by two career firefighters and then if needed the volunteers are paged out. The two career firefighters handle about 80% of the 400+ calls a year without the aid of the volunteers. http://cms.firehouse.com/dept/YarmouthNSCA website

There are no substations only one main station. Measured by car. It is 12 KMs across & 25 kms down for an area of approximately 300 square kilometers or 115.8 square miles.

Even if it a delusion of yours. It is not a bad looking unit for whatever the purpose.

Very nice truck.. Who was the builder.

Through .com and work and direct at home

In Nova Scotia the only ones allowed lights and sirens on their POV is the Chief & Deputy Chief. Blue lights are only allowed to be used on Police vehicles. Also your insurance rate will go up considerably.

Congratulations and how are the sleepless nights.

That is a very nice sign and I agree it looks very good on the side of the truck

Anyone see #24 crash with #17 & #88 tonight

I heard a rumor the Federal Signal corporate headquarters told the honchos in Florida how to build the trucks and not the way that the departments wanted them built. It's our way or no way. They did not want the plant listening to dealers just listen to financial people at Federal headquarters.

Is that 10' as in 10 foot or 10" as in 10 inch raised roof.

Give it a chance and it will grow on you like the Pierce Quantum and the new velocity. Also blame the US Federal Government and the EPA for making such harsh fuel requirements for the engiine sizes

Here is the link if anyone wants to read up on them. http://www.wolverinefire.com/

In Canada a tanker is a fire apparatus that hauls alot of water from 1500 gallons and up. Water tender is not used in Canada for Fire apparatus thst I know of at least in Eastern Canada. Also in Nova Scotia all professional fire department operators have to have a Class 3 license, air brake endorsement and it is stamped Automatic or manual transmission use only depaending on what is used for you drivers test.
