Those Bombadiers look like they would be great fun to cruise around in, and I love the Power Wagon.

This was the only non surplus military apparatus I saw in use. Unfortunately it never sat still long enough to get any info or better photos.

Colorado State Type 4 Engine 731, designated locally as Brush 10. One of nearly a dozen purchased after the worst wildland fire in Colorado history in 2002. This unit is housed and staffed by Littleton Fire Rescue. This is a CAFS engine and what looks like the metal flatbed is actually the large water tank. Rick Luebke Photos

Colo State Engine 621, Type 6 Engine staffed by one of the local state offices. Many of these were also purchased after the Hayman Fire in 2002 and the state has stuck with this body style for the most part. Rick Luebke Photo

The Minnesota DNR bought two of the CL-215's I believe in 2001 and has operated them since.
