Air bag storage, strut storage for both auto and TRT responses as well as a full compliment of ladders.  The vehicle replaced three units in the fleet at Sandwich. A TRT lumber truck, a squad, and an engine. This vehicle is dedicated to Chief” Big Jake” Pruski who passed away suddenly while the building process was started. This was his dream vehicle for the department. Multi-purpose and reducing the aging fleet.
