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??

Big meaning that they are bigger than most of the urban engines with shorter wheel bases, etc. It would be a perfect fit for a dept such as mine with very little staffing and a more suburban, wider road setting.
