Thumbs up

What a great picture. I worked on a few forest fire crews when I was young and we didn't have anything like this!

That is an awsome pic. In my younger days I tagged along with some of the rural fire brigades here, but they never had anything like that either.

To answer the original question...."Where's the fire?" I have to say....with trucks like that, does it matter?

They grow 'em a lot bigger than that out here. However, I ran some similar ones in Oregon. Being a private enterprise we could not afford to waste that kind of $$$ on bling bling. However they have their drawbacks. Being small there is not much water on board, the ride over the rocks and logs is a bit hard on the old kidneys, and I had to spend a lot of time with the rosebud and BFH working the dents out!

I saw about 5 or 6 of those exact trucks roll through Boise, Idaho rolling down the highway heading towards Oregon. Very nice, they guys even had a crew cab dolled up like those.
