Seth do you have another shot of the passenger's side front compartment where the little giant ladder is, something alittle closer?

Great shots and awesome looking vehicle

Nice idea with the tool box. What pump controls are in the cab?

I meant to photograph the pump controls in the cab, but it started raining and I've got to shoot this engine's twin, so I hope to get more detail in there then.

I beleive you can charge the booster reel, a handline, and operate the remote control deckgun from the cab, and it is pump and roll.

I had the oppurtunity to shoot Engine 902 again this morning in better sunlight...

thanks Seth, we are just starting to spec a new engine and was curious how they had the little giant ladder stowed.

Interesting engine, I do not like the deck gun placement. If you have to spray water on the drivers side you are going to get drenched (worse than if you were on the ground.)

Is it even possible to operate that pump panel while flowing water through the monitor off the drivers side?
