Thanks!
In reference to the medical compartment, I believe it was because it took away too much room on the inside of the already small cab.

Squrt is the brand name of the 54' boom that is on the truck. So they designated them "Squrt". The "Water Tower" rigs have 50' Snozzle brand booms. The PFD used to designated the Squrts "Tower Pumpers" so I believe that is why they are designated "Snozzle"

Any chance of getting a video of the Water Towers setting up or at a training exercise?
