I started off operating a 1971 Ford Howe 750/750 until it was replaced by a E-One Hurricane.

Now our Primary Engine is a new 2010 Rosenbauer 5 man commercial cab 1250/1000 top mount with a 300 cummings engine which replaced a 1985 E-one Hurricane 1250/1000

Secondary engine is a 2006 Medtalfab 2 man commercial cab 1250/2500 with a 300 cat engine.

And now are in the process of specing out a Wildland interface truck with a 5 man cab 1250/750 giving us 3 engines or combination of attack engine, tanker and water supply truck.
