What type of vehicle does your department utilize for brush responses? They vary around our area. Our District usses a Hummer wich was manufactured by "Fire Attacker".
The DNRC unit I work for has 8 type 6 engines staffed from June though the middle of Sept. 6-F450 with 300 gal tanks and 2-F550 with 500 gal. tanks. We are replacing 2 engines this yr with F550 extended cabs with 500 gal tanks. I 'm running a 2005 F450 at this time. Might get 1 of the new ones this spring.
Have you folks ever had a problem with the duallies getting stuck? We have had a few in our are get stuck from the mud geting packed between the tires.
yes we do I have found that it is the only way to go if the platform is designed right and it is safe I know some frown on this practice but we have never had a problem
This is are brush truck my deptment bought at FDIC. We also use it in bad weather for medical runs. Its perfect for are department.It has A foam inductor that makes the 250 gal water supply go alot farther also has 3 front sprayers that can be operated independently from inside the cab.
Thats cool Hey if it works in your area and you can do it safely go for it! I figured as much with the bigger bumper, but thought I would ask Thanks for the reply.
