30 degree angle on the table. It still pumped as they unloaded the tank through the deckgun while on the table. It had a full load of water and they had i think they said 2000 pounds of weight on the truck spread around in the compartments.

Verona, possibly? Hearing conflicting reports if they're getting KME or Pierce, but they are due for a new aerial, to be wet down in October, in conjunction with their 100th Anniversary celebration.
