Greenville (Orange County, NY) M-708. Note the cones and the way the apparatus is designed to dispense them. I've seen this style on highway construction cone placement trucks, but never applied to fire apparatus. Pretty neat and very unique.

Plus, the truck just looks awesome.

It's great when people put thought into apparatus, and look at other industries, and come up with things like this. Instead of letting their salesmen, commisioners, or parade comitee design the truck.

Kudos for inventiveness and safety-mindedness!!!

If it's the Greenville that I'm thinking of they cover a big portion of I-84 near Port Jervis and the PA state line so this truck is a really smart move! Beats dropping flares every 20 minutes with tractor trailers buzzing by at 70 MPH!

Yes Chris, thats is the same Greenville. Mechanicstown FD has a similar truck on order, they cover portions of I84 & Rt. 17.

It is nice to see that a lot of thought went into that truck. Nice design!

It's good to see FD's looking outside the box and being innovative.
