As this a great question! Both Tankers are built as class A Engines, but we move the suction up to make space for equipment. Rarely is the hard suction used on our tankers, so moving them has not been a problem. As for our Standard Engines, the hard Suction is Shoulder length, much more closer to the ground and through the tank. To get the Hard suction down off the 2 tankers, we have installed the quick steps on the rear and front of the body.

She will be in Station 1 and 30 for now will be on its normal response protocols.

Spent alot of time over in your area doing fire safety inspections, would love to stop by for a visit and take some shots of your apparatus, sounds like a road trip.

3 Camera View System (Rear and 2 sides),

That sounds like a neat feature.
