I'm just curious if it was spec'd out with the end-user in mind- the single career firefighter who staffs it. Not trying to create any conterversy, just wanted to know if any of the spec's kept that in mind?

Great thought Seth, and a totally fair question. What kind of features does everyone think we would find on such a rig? I'm not familiar with what function these rigs serve (i.e. relay pumper, rescue, engine, etc.) Can anyone from those parts fill us in on what E-58 & 59 currently carry?

The specs were done by the paid staff. One of the members is a rig and truck collector. Alot of you will know who I am talking about. It will be a great rig that will serve them well. I am sure at some point he will fill you in with more info.
