I believe that you are right on with this. With budget restraints and trying to do more with less, these rigs, although big and do not really fit into the sceme of most departments operations will become the norm soon.

I am surprised at the "big" comment. These trucks have fairly short wheelbases in the 190" range and are only about 30' long. This one looks quite nice with the low hosebed, it appears to be a good pumper with loads of extra compartments. Why would this not fit into the operational scheme of most departments??
