i was told by many depts that due it in fl if the exhaust pipe gets submerged in water it wcan stall the vehicle as oppose to this way it wont as likely

I mean, as much as I can’t stand his contributions, Harry is right on this count. The issue isn’t as much what happens to the exhaust when a motor is running…but if a station floods or an engine stalls out in flood water a low-mounted exhaust can easily allow water to enter the motor and destroy it (or at a minimum put it OOS and require a rebuild).

Ok Harry I’ll humor you. Why in the world should a hurricane possibly make the slightest bit of difference in regard to the type of exhaust pipe on a fire apparatus?

well in florida it is still quite common because of the hurricanes to have this style of exhaust

You almost never see an apparatus with that. Milwaukee tried that for a short time on some of their rigs but didn’t last long. Diesel engines are so clean now so it’s no longer a factor where you vent the exhaust.

The exhaust stack is very unusual in the Midwest
