We are specing a new tiller from Seagrave and it will be very similar to Louisville's current trucks.  Does anyone have open compartment shots showing shelving and equipment mounted?  Thanks in advance, shaner

Once again I am a day late and a dollar short.  At approximately 1000 hours the box alarm was sounded for a building fire at Vandever Ave & N Market St.  Engines 4,3,5 and Ladder 1 with both Battalion Chiefs were dispatched.  Engine 4, responding from their quarters a block away reported fire through the roof of a 1 story sandwich shop/corner store.  Battalion 1 requested an additonal engine and ladder company, sending Engine 1 and Tower 2 to the scene.  Companies made quick work of the fire and it appeared to have been confined to the roof/cockloft area.  Alas, once again I'm only getting after the fact and people shots!
