2010 KME Rescue Pumper

[MATT3045]

This is our new 2010 International/KME rescue pumper. 1500gpm pump, 980 water, 20 foam. Wilburt LED Light Tower, runs off 12v, no generator required. LED lighting everywhere on this thing, ground lights, compartment lights, everything except the body mount scene lights. We did not even have a $300K budget, so we got the best we could. We only staff with 2 people on shift, so it will fit our full crew.

Do not mind all the zip ties in the 6th picture (rear view), we were taking an extra hosebed divider back for a department not to far from us.QWe ended up dropping it off at our sales rep office because the chief of the other department did not want to drive down and pick it up. It cost around $300 for the divider, it will be almost $400 to ship, guess trying to save the chief some money did not matter.

Great truck on a budget! Small, easy to maneuver...like the top mount pump!

 

[MATT3045]

top mount is the reason we did not get a crew cab for the truck. It would have made it way to long. Our chief would rather have the pump operator up high then have a bunch of empty unused seats. As of right now this truck is only going to be a back up truck. We are still trying to figure out running and response orders.

You say you only staff 2 people, but how does that work? You can't run a heavy rescue/ engine with 2 people. Do others just go to the scene?

 

[MATT3045]

Most people go to the station and bring other trucks. A few of us direct to scenes, but not many. We have operated our current truck cutting people out with only 2 of us until others arrived with our squads. So do not say it can't be done. It can be, and has been. It is not ideal, but we make do with what we have. Our governing body says they only want 2 people staffing the station for fire and ems , that is what we get.

Matt, your lightbar looks a lil empty to the front.

Matt, stopped down while I was working the park today to see it in person-very sharp looking truck!!

 

[MATT3045]

Thanks Mike.


Ryan, they did leave the center of the bar unpopulated. Was not my call. I wanted a Q on it, but as you can see from the pictures, I lost that battle also.
