On Ferrara page it does say "Rescue-Pumper". They are not. The last round Smeal pumper configuration did not work out (our fault. Design sucked). With these Ferraras we reverted back to the design that worked for us, same as the Mack/Ward 79 body design. No high compartments on these, low hosebed, front suction is back. Over the rear wheels, on officer side we carry 3-Lengths of 1-3/4" preconnect and on driver side is our "donuts" (Standpipe packs). On the last Smeals we lost both of these spots, which forced them to be carried in areas that weren't easily deployed for an engine company.
They spec'd some kind of interior EMS cabinet which should free up an exterior compartment where it was kept now.
