Contract type 3 engine built on a Ford F550 and operated by A-1 Fire Services of Lolo Montana.
This is a classic contractor engine written to comply with the letter of the contract, cramming 10 lbs of fire engine into a 5 lb sack. Type 3 engines carry 500 gallons of water, and have a minimum of a 250 gpm pump so are usually built on a larger medium duty chassis. If the chassis holds out it looks like a rather practical no frills engine to me.
