There is some confusion on these next two rigs. Info published in FIRE APPARATUS JOURNAL from Eric Hansen has these as having 800 GPM pumps. The guys at the station told us they had 2000 GPM pumps. Can anyone confirm?

Dave, do you know if this department runs off the grounds on mutual aid? Pretty fancy rig for a hospital; Roto-ray, Q2B, Alcoa wheels. Like the black over red paint job!

This is a glider kit off of the 1982 FMC Constoga/LTI/Duplex. Truck 1 and Truck 2 had very similar rigs. Also these were the first Trucks in the department to carry pumps and water in the early 1980's. When Truck 1 returned from ALF in 1999 it also was the only rig in FWFD to have a Q siren. It was shown in Kansas City at the 1999 IAFC.



Truck 2's 1980 FMC Constoga/LTI/Duplex was glider kit by LTI in 1997 on a low-pro duplex chassis. Although Truck 2's glider kit was replaced in 2005-07ish with the current mid-mount ALF at Truck 2. The glider kit was disposed of never entered reserve.

As far as I know, it does.
