Interesting.

What's the advantages of this over something, let's say, like the BRAT?

Does anyone know how this will be deployed?  Brush unit, source pumper, line engine, etc etc?

I kinda like it, looks ready for business. Wonder how much it costs ?

Is this Katonah's former Mini Pumper that's up for sale?

We have purchased an HME Short Wheel Base 4X4 Class A Pumper that's in the finishing stages of construction in Wyoming, MI. The 1984 MA-15 is ours and is for sale. We anticipate receiving the new apparatus by the end of November or early December.
