That wonderful view from the Tillerman's seat was my last assignment with Tampa Fire Rescue Truck 1 before retiring. No other view like it anywhere in the fire service. God do I miss it!!!!

WOW! Such meticulously maintained compartments. It shows that the crew/company have pride in their ride!

The men and women of the LAFD show real pride in their rigs. Some 1980's Seagrave's retired looking practically brand new because the crew took meticulous care of them. That's also one of the reasons there's a spray bottle and rags in that chock compartment - see dirt, clean it (especially if the rig is outside). At the end of each day, somebody will wipe the rig down or wash it.

Are the SCBA in the compartments extra SCBA, or are they the primary SCBA for the company???

All the SCBA on the 2007 Pierces/Seagrave are carried in the outside rear compartments (2 on each side) and none in the cab. The older 2003 Pierce had 2 in the rear of the cab and 2 in the rear compartments.
