Looking for info on Mini-pumper/Mini-rescue options

[conman 40]

my department is looking to replace this unit. we're thinking a crew cab. we run two ambulances and when those are on runs we take this truck. its also our main brush truck. we have a second set of jaws on our rescue that we are looking to add to this rig. any ideas or suggestions or pics would help us out.

Are you looking for used or new?

You're asking a very small vehicle to perform many jobs.

Think of the mission of the rig. Then size and design it accordingly. $$ should be a consideration.....but not the ultimate one !

Just as a little more help. We currently use this rig as our main brush truck. It has no turbo in the motor so towing our six-wheeler so its slow and sucks at climbing hills. We also have it equipped with ice water rescue equipment. If its needed we take it as an additional rig for medicals. We are looking to expand to a crew cab and if we have the space add a spot for the second set of jaws. It would be an added luxury but its not a must.

Here is a mini-pumper that we will be getting in in the next few weeks: Woodstock 67-14.

conman,

Woodstock also has a nice little brush/rescue type vehicle (67-42) at Zena station that the committee might want to look at, as well as Ruby who has a nice one on the Ford chassis as well. At least they're close.

Too bad that the Chevy medium duty chassis is toast- that would be a nice chassis to build on.
