Quote:This is the most unique piece I have photographed in well over 40 years of fire apparatus photography in Canada. While lacking many of the details, the rig appears to be a combination pumper-ambulance. It is a 2013 Marque/Spartan MS with a 420 igpm pump. The back half is set up as an ambulance. I could find no details of a water tank, foam tank or their sizes. It is operated by the Shell facility at Scotford, Alberta. If anyone can add further details, it would be most appreciated.Volusia County Florida runs a handfull of these combo rigs. From what I recall from the couple I photographed, they have 300 gallon water tank, 30 gallon foam and a CAFS. The tank is located between the cab and the Ambulance box. They are more of an ambulance then an engine/pumper, but have the capability to at least get started on extinguishing a fire. It's been 3 years since i've shot those in Florida, and have not really heard more about them as to likes or dislikes.
