  Nice Rig! Does anybody know what melrose park station got this?

  It has a 221 inch wheelbase, not long at all for a top mount pump. And it’s only 22 inches longer than a similar side mount pump. Top mount pump far more versatile than the side mount, although more expensive.

  A nice and no nonsense look to it. I wonder why they didn’t enclose the top mount pump panel.

  Long Wheelbase due to that Top Mount pump panel . I guess they aren’t expecting to have winter fire pump time .

  I wonder why they went with a long wheelbase given the tight roads they have? Still, looks like a nice rig!
