Thanks for adding more from SC. That tracked unit looks like it is based on a Sno-Cat, you guys get a lot of snow in SC?
Quote:Next is a new to them Type VI engine. Former USFS. There are 3 of them. One assigned to each region. They will be used for major incidents and out of state deployments.This was likely an off the shelf unit from either R8 (Southern region) or R9 (Eastern Region). Unlike the western regions R8 & R9 didn't have standardized regional designs and often a forest would just find a good deal on a rig that would suit their needs. With the new national standard engines, I imagine this will be changing.
Quote:This is a former USFS unit used by the SCFC. I don't know the USFS model numbers. Supposedly, they are acquiring three newer USFS trucks and. This one will be replaced.Believe this would be a Model 70, a Region 3 (South-West) engine, 250 gpm PTO pump, 600 gallon tank.
