Do you use the front bumper for Firefighters to stand on?

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.

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

usually when we are stuck we are stuck it would not matter the truck has plenty of power to turn tires full of mud or not
