Thanks for the info... curious... did you guys have a problem with the equipment that you had on the rescue fitting on the squad. Were you able to get the majority of the equipment into the new compartation?

All the equipment that was on the engine fit with no issue, save for the largest airbag. That said, very little of the extra equipment that I think they intended to be placed on the new squad from the special ops unit will fit. For instance, the stokes basket is sitting in the open in a hosebed compartment, and the backboard is attached to the rear wall in the jump seats. Since this was a demo, we have been told that the custom built squad, with a smaller water tank, will have more space. That remains to be seen. Also remains to be seen how well the trailer set up is going to work. but I certainly have my doubts to say the least.
