Fighting brush fire w/deuces....A2, A3, M36

[Maverick1701]

The Sheriffs Office got a call today about 2 brush fires out in the county. I went out there w/the FD...I got some pictures of the deuces doing their thing.

They brought out the A2, A3, and an M36

Pics or it didnt happen...and who doesnt love pics

I have a lot to post...enjoy (especially the M36 )

Thanks for the pictures! I don't think I have ever seen an M36 used as a fire truck before. I bet they try to avoid U-turns in that one.

We just put our A3 in service today but not in time to make the structure fire we were called out to. I was working on the truck and would have made it to the fire if I didn't have 3 tires that were almost flat after sitting for a few weeks (yes, the CTIS is already disabled). I'm already starting to dislike those 2 piece A3 wheels.

Somewhere I got this pic of another M36 doing Fire Service in Texas:

Maverick1701,
Did the bed on the A3 came from another Deuce? There are quite a few Deuces and 5-tons in use as brush fire trucks around here.

Take out the windows and run that supply line right over the front seat, leaks and all

I'm on a rural dept (1 person per square mile county)...truck captain of our A2, and prefer it to others by about a bazillion. Love them deuces doing work!

You are right, I posted the wrong picture. I do/did have a pic of a white long bed M36 doing fire service work in my collection of pictures, but have changed computers since Aug 2010 and can't find it now

Thanks for posting. We don't have those things available up here, but I love seeing them work! Keep the pics coming!

Thanks for sharing the pics the M series trucks just never seem to give up doing what they were designed to do! Last week on the front page of our newspaper they were showing TWO Deuces driving the streets of Minot ND looking for people to assist! Like I said the M series seems to NEVER say stop!

Great Pics! Our department has two 3/4 ton we use for brush fires; all the other departments in the area are trading them in for Ford 250's but I do not know why - the M37's will go any where and we don't get a talking to if we scatch the "new" truck!

Sharing this as a tribute to those who use these MV in the battling blazes.....
