Here is something you don't see every day. Riverside, MO Fire Department Quint 2 on a wrecker hook. I was at our local Pierce Dealer when Riverside's 2000 HME/ Fire Master 75ft RK Quint came on a wrecker hook. Apparently they had a small fire somewhere in the rig. This unit has been a challenge since delivery in 2000.

Rick, what were the "challenges" w/ this rig? Im just curious as we run a similar rig, same year, but it's a Smeal body & ladder. I'm personally not a fan of the HME cab but we have had rather good luck w/ our quint.
