M 618 is our fire police unit, it carries everything from cones, barricades, stop signs, to extra personnel. Multi-use vehicle, essentially.

as stated on last board, good looking fleet. i actually like the colors. something different.
 
Do you get to drive the engines and / or rescue unit?
 
No, as of right now it's 18 for the Fire Police truck & special training and the Engines/Rescue/Tanker are 21 w/ EVOC and other appropriate training.


2 more years and I'll consider it. I'm not sure I'd like to be responsible for that much equipment.

Nice looking trucks. How old are you? 2 years until you can drive the fire police vehicle or 2 years until the big trucks?

16 I would assume...
 
I'm 19, so two years before I can drive the big trucks. By that much I mean a fully loaded rescue, tanker or engine. A few cones and a sign or 2 aren't worrysome.
 
either way, oh to be that young again. I was just concerned if you were 16 and had lights in your POV, and your FD ok'd it. The "big" trucks just take a lot of practice, if your department is not that overly busy or there area lot of members and you don't/won't get to drive that often take all of them out for drivers training as often as you can. Stay proficent and aware.
 
All of our trucks used to be red until the tanker and fire/rescue truck were purchased. They phased in the green in around 2002 when we got the new trucks. The red truck will be phased out within the next two or three years when we're ready to get a new one.
 
How does that little boat do while pumping water? It looks it would get pushed all over the place. Otherwise, it's a pretty cool looking boat.


Is your department volunteer or career?
 
Nice trucks.... but

WOW!!!! 4 Q SIRENS?! REALLY!!?? WHAT DID YA SAY?! I CANT HEAR YOU OVER 4 Q FING SIRENS!! LMAO....very nice trucks btw
Click to expand...
2 are real Q's- the others (mounted in the bumper) a standard speaker with a "q" decorative cover. :ugeek:
 
Pretty sure we just got approval for 2 new Q sirens, 1 for our engine and 1 for our tanker so that will round out the whole department with Q's.
 
We received twin Chevy Tahoes for our Car 2 and Car 3. I will also be taking new pictures and updating this post soon!


ps.. howd this end up in misc/other??

I think this one will make you all proud.. we received our new engine on Friday, and with it some cool new toys.


This engine features a remote light tower and a remote deck gun, a booster reel located in the rear compartment, 1250 gallon tank and best of all... a ROTO RAY! Hell. Yeah.


More photos and video coming as soon as I can get them taken and uploaded....

Love the new engine...can't go wrong with a spartan & the blinkies look great. However, I'm def personally more partial to rigs with a front bumper "trash" line; I find those to be extremely useful for so many different calls & they're quick to deploy/reload.


As for the twin Chevys, those look great! I love the striping scheme & we def will need a walk around vid...the only thing I would've done differently is larger grill lights!
 
The trash line was on the original spec but the trucks are limited by our current firehouse. This engine sits about 1 foot from the bay door and about 3 1/2 - 4 ft from the back wall, it's a tight squeeze until we get our new building. Next trucks in rotation are the tanker and our 4x4 rescue/engine. Will hopefully be getting more pictures today!
 
You sir have some pretty sweet trucks in your line up, I used to live up that way, when I still lived up there I ran out of Howells I truly miss custom built fire apparatus, the trend down here in my neck of the woods of TN is to buy Commercial chassis trucks.

That's like my former dept that I was half on(long story). They bought a new truck and it had 1.5" from the front bumper to the bar door and 2.5" from the back bumper to the wall. It was a very tight squeeze in the firehouse.
 
I love the color scheme of this dept.  Since there is no video I'm picturing it all with slow solid patterns and it looks great light wise. 

Engine 619 the M series next to the 600 series under the headlights bugs me.  Make it both of either one, but not one of each type.  Nit-pick I know, but that's the only little thing I saw, and I had to see something.  Maybe even clear lenses on the M series? That is a great looking engine though.  Couldn't resist seeing what it looked like with the LEDs matched or changed up front.

As it is

The only cost here is two clear covers for the M series.  Both the 600 turn signals and 600 warning lights are colored so it looks balanced, the M series have clear lenses like the rest of the M series on the truck.

619bthclrbth.jpg

This is the other cheap option, just two clear 600 covers and two clear M series covers.  Now all the warning lights have clear lenses.

Below are the "not so doable ones".

Hey John, that is actually a great point.. this department has a horrible habit of either specing lights with clear AND colored lenses, or letting whoever is in charge of picking out the lights choose the colors.. it drives me absolutely insane, almost to the point where I've considered doing as you mention and changing the lens colors to clear... I feel it looks a whole lot better than the mix and match.

My dept did the same thing up until this last purchase when we went all clear lenses.  I'm really happy with it.  It's a minor complaint, but I think it looks more uniform.  Over all they are sharp looking.
 
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the 2 different model lights up front (due to my OCD).


Can u get a close up of the roto-ray? I've never seen one mounted there on that particular spartan chassis before

I'll definitely look around and see if I can find some lenses that they won't scoff at the price, perhaps I can donate some to them.

pdk9, I will stop by and take some photos tonight or tomorrow!

Hopefully I'll be able to snag a few drivers to get all of the trucks out so I can snap pictures really soon of the rest of them.
 
I hope you guys can go with all-clear lenses up front! I think that that blends in the best with the vehicle (although I would've preferred all 600s up front)

Thanks for the rotoray closeup pics!


Something interesting about the HME rescue is that you guys have warning 600 series for the turn signals, instead of the depopulated 5mm turn signals, so those must be bright a F@#K when turning at night. I also love the watercraft but y'all need to upgrade those beacons to some L-31's...the current ones make it look old lol
