It is funny how this engine gives the apperance of being a "Big rig" I don't know the wheel base or hight but the comparments and body layout look the same as engines the county has had for some time.

Having seen them up close and personal I assure you they are definitely longer AND wider. I honestly don't think it is a perception issue (though I could be wrong). I have a friend who is currently assigned to a county company (as a driver) currently using one of the new Velocity's and he was surprised at the difference. Engine 410 was also at the apparatus shop when I was there (getting work done following the collapse at FS10) and the size difference between the two was considerable.
Again, just my opinion! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Take care gents!
