The Land Rover has vanity plates, so it's probably a POV, not a city car. The Jeep was most likely one of the vehicles purchased on the emergency appropriation after Sept. 11th-there were SUVs purchased from almost every popular manufacturer.

We can't get rigs repaired or replaced. We sure as hell ain't buying Land Rovers.. lolol[/quote]
They may get the plates as a courtesy but Red lights? Interesting. Wonder if they are allowed to go Code 3 or they are for show.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?

Certain ladder companies are designated CPC (chemical) and SOC (Special Ops) support trucks, and a few others that I'm getting brain freeze on. Some added the box on top to carry the equipment needed for said tasks. As did the Squads. And these ladder companies (SOC Support) are also given a utility truck to carry even more stuff. Usually a Ford utility body similar to what the repair & transportation (shops) mechanics carry.
I'm on a brain freeze right now, but I'm pretty certain someone else can pick up where I left off.
Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

87 Truck is a CPC (Chemical Protective Clothing) and has an extra rig - CPC Truck, "Lil 87" was given to us on March 19, 2003 in order to enhance our units' Hazmat capabilities. Lil 87 allows us to carry more Hazmat equipment than the one compartment originally designated for Hazmat on the truck.
The Box on many rigs both Engine and Ladders carry WATER RESCUE GEAR. I know Engine 160 carries gear in theirs for JUST Such an emergency.
