And a straight on rear view with the rear roll-up door open. That forestry hose reel is a department supplied reel and came off of one of the old Maxim pumpers from the 80's. And a new piece of equipment mounted on the rear is the Blitzfire portable gun.



Overall a great piece of equipment and very well built.

Looks like a great piece of apparataus that was well thought out when it was being designed. A great truck is more than just who makes it, its how involved the department planning on using it gets involved.

Very well put!! The Reading guys did a fantastic job putting thier trucks together!! A special shout out to Chief Burns for aquiring funds for three very nice apparatus in just two years!!!



I think 'firelaw757' had something to do with it, too.

I will agree with you there. I love the black over red. Looks like Beverly is also heading in that direction with their new ladder being black over red.
