Pflugerville, TX New Siddons Skeeter t5

[x635 4,066]

Siddons-Martin Fire Apparatus, the Pierce dealer for the entire State Of Texas, has it's own brand of brush trucks, the Siddons "Skeeter", altough some other model names may be out there.

They build abot 40 trucks a year now, and starting to increase, out of a manfacturing facility in Kirby, TX (just outside San Antonio).

Due to the recent wildfires, they have several orders for brush trucks, including a large state contract for the TIFMAS system (Texas INTRAstate Mutual Aid System), which are placed with FD's strategically throughout the state and are deployed with taks forces.

One of the most recent deliveries are (2) Ford F-550 4x4/Siddons Skeeter t5 Brush Trucks to Pflugerville, TX FD:

Here's some more spec shots from the manufacturer's webpage. Didn't have a chance to photograph this evening because they were lining up and just about to leave for the "Pink Heals" Firefighter's Parade leading in the pink fire engines and fundraising celebration in the square with the Georgetown FD Bag and Pipes,food, etc. I hope to get some of my own later this week.
