The 3 bay building is going to house the spill response trailer as well as an engine. We have ordered a Rosenbaurer engine. Should be here around September.

I notice you have a Chevy truck with a 330 gpm pump and it carries 300 gallons of water. So I guess a fair conclusion is that you expect the truck to work for less than a minute before it breaks down, or it would have a much larger tank!!

I have been looking at the Rosenbaurer trucks too. They seem to have a lot of new innovations in the technology and safety.
This is something along the line that we maybe looking at. In our case, it will not be 4 wheel drive but the basic idea for the rescue layout.

Tooo funny Bruce. It is all in the piping. I don't think the 3500 could pump 350 gallons a minute if it wanted to. We have spray nozzles on all four corners so we can drive around a field fire and spray water.

Yeah, it is just like our New Lexington/International that we have. It has a 1500 gpm Darley pump with a 1500 gallon tank. As Doug mentioned, it is all in the piping. With only a 3 or 4" tank to pump line, it can only supply so much water.

Ahhh I see. By chance is there a nice little discount on the truck ?? I know that when we bought the two pumpers, the truck builders did not have any in the area and gave us a discount to help 'sell' future trucks.
