Is that the ladder truck that failed at a big fire about 10-15 years ago? I remembering seeing the incident on my buff pager...

You don't often see a Ford C with the cab integrated into the body, although there are a few out there. I've always wondered how crews did their morning checks, and how the trucks were serviced since the cabs originally tilted. I'm guessing a dog house inside the body?

I believe the cab still tilts on this one, there is just more cab.

No, It does not make it a Rescue Engine. There are actually a lot of these type Rescue Squads out there. They usually carry a smaller pump and a minimum amount of water. The reason is if that is the only unit that gets out on the call, or they are on the scene by themselves for a fair amount of time, then they have some water to take care or knock down a car fire, etc... These units do not normally carry enough supply hose or attack lines to be considered a Rescue Engine, thus most call it a Wet Rescue Squad. 

 

If you would like to see more, check into Companies is Southern Maryland. I know that there are a few there. In addition the New Market VFC in Frederick County is on the process of placing into service a Rescue Squad (From Hollywood MD VFC) that is set up this way.

 

Hope this helps.

Wow, that is a lot of extra cab although I guess probably no more than we see on engines these days.
