Yes that truck is nice and it is probably well under the gvw of the vehicle
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If you aren't already aware of the tread on Mil Fire trucks, 30 plus pages of various configurations..here's the link..im looking for plans of either a deuce ff vehicle or a hmmwv truck
HappyLand states his dept. runs off of 4K per year. But then states that they have gotten grants for certain things and donations. They may only recieve 4K per year locally, but they certainly operate on more funding than that. You CAN'T run a dept. effectively on 4K a year. It's time the citizens start supporting their firefighters. We make more than that from just fish fry's, pancake breakfast's, a golf outing and just plain donations. And that's with around 3 thousand residents in our township.HappyLand you just made my day on this subject. That is exactly the point I've been getting at.
What's to stop YOU from making that call? It's your idea. It would probably be a full time job. Ever heard of the Super Sofa Store fire in Charleston? That's a fairly big city. Google it.Maybe you guys could PM axlr8 and get the phone number to his chief. Then when you call the chief and tell him you are a FF in another state and quote the NFPA guidlines to him over the phone. Or give him guidence on the grant thing.
Would that be PRUDENT if you are as you say "just trying to save a life".
You guys are going to great lengths to explain this to the bottom of the food chain (sorry axlr but if you are genuinely concerned, get on the phone and bring it up.
Look, this is the second time in 3 weeks I've read a post that the OP has been focal point of a lot of finger wagging from a computer about FF related vehicles. If it is indeed the the crisis that you make it out to be, then you as a responsible member of a Fire department, in hearing that another FF might be doing things incorectly, need to take a bigger roll in dispersing your knowledge.
Bottom line, I know you will not make that call.
Prove me wrong.
