Quote:Anyone know why they picked this chassisAccording to KME website at the time of the build it was picked because it was the only one that had a drop frame rails availible on a commercial chassis and they didn't want a high center of gravity on a 6x6 chassis.. 
both make sence. I would also think better visability
Cause it looks cool! Duh.

Vintage Haz Mat Squad 87.
Before they got their "Bread Truck". On scene assisting Pasadena FD on a HM spill of some kind, near the Rose Bowl. Early to mid 80's. Can you say slightly overloaded?  ![[Image: img391_zpsvx615d3z.jpg]](http://s969.photobucket.com/user/LAFD42/media/Los%20Angeles%20County%20Fire/Specialized%20Units/img391_zpsvx615d3z.jpg.html)
This would be donated to the LACoFD and become Reserve Foam 5127, out of Station 127 in Carson.
