The cool part about this, I forgot to mention, is that Volvo doesn't build fire trucks. This is one of a kind. The employees, many of which are volunteer firefighters, imagined, designed and built this truck using the skills of the employees and resources at the plant to build a truck, again completely in house, to meet the very specific needs of the in house brigade, yet still be able to serve the surrounding community. This plant, which builds Volvo's Class 8 Heavy Duty Vocational Truck chassis line, is located in a rural area in the mountains of Southwest Virginia (Dublin, VA - New River Valley). They have over 2,850 truck builders at the plant.
