Most didn't like them as they were too cramped. Driver, Officer and one member in the front seat! They had to dress out once on the scene, other companies that came in behind them were ready to go and took the fire. They would have been OK if it had only been two members in the front seat. Good use for brush trucks as long as you didn't get off the hard area and into some soft ground. They would sink down. They were still too high for most parking garages, even without the regular bar lights and re position booster reel.[color=#3333FF] <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />
