At our weekly work detail last night, I had to help another firefighter figure out how to put in our SCBA's in the jump seats in the new rescue. I hadn't done it myself, but as I stepped out of the truck, I proclaimed "Yep, in 18 years and 6 truck purchases, this is by far my favorite"
It's a new rescue that replaced a worn and torn late 70's utility van.

its THE best engine i have ever ridden on, and preety much the only engine i have ever ridden on.
Altho, our station may be getting a brand new arieal ladder truck later in the year, so i might have a new favotie apparatus by december!!!
but for now, this is the best and my favorite apparatus in the whole dept.

It's my favorite because it was my first. And NO I wasn't assigned active duty to this truck. I was a 4y/o when one of Dad's friend's pulled up in front of the house with this already retire rig. It is my earliest childhood memory.
