Josh is exactly right...they're top-mount enclosed pump panels in the riding area to keep the pump operator warm. I've always liked the design, it's a signature of the midwest.



Also, Josh, nice work on this last batch of photos. The Twin Cities area apparatus have been favorites of mine since I visited many of the stations with Paul Barrett about 6 years ago. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='3_12_21' />

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.

WMFD is going to miss the reliability of the Ford LS (and, for crying out loud, they're not all that old!) when the bug-eyed monsters from Ocala start rolling to alarms. I can't believe the inroads E-0 is making here in MN...why doesn't Seagrave bid on anything here?
