I’m digging the steel wheels! I think LED headlights would compliment this rig well!

Jim, the new squad carries 500 gallons of water. Also the rear hose compliment has two beds of 2.5” and 1 bed of 1.75” preconnect. There is no LDH coming off the back.

Any idea how much water it will carry? Are both rear beds 2 1/2 hose except for the leader length of 1 3/4?

It also looks like ladder storage will be fully enclosed. Also looks like the attack lines will come of the back as they usually do. It looks like they will have room for all the normal hose they carry including the 100 ft. of I believe it is 1 and 1/2 inch hose.

Looks like it is nearing completion! When is it scheduled for delivery? Later this month or in January?
