    I'm all for the American resources helping with the rescue effort, BUT dont we have enough problems on American soil like the price of Diesel and housing and dont forget bailing out the Auto industry "cause that worked?". What has Hati done here in this country what provide wicker baskets. Put the shoe on the other foot, What would they do for America??. Dont wait for your bailout systems cause spending One Hundred million is more important helping ANOTHER COUNTRY AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN.
    REMEMBER WE LIVE IN AMERICA

    Glenbrook Fire Department currently has a 1963 Maxim "open cab" Engine. It has a 750 GPM Hale two stage pump. 5speed transmission and a Detroit Diesel motor. The orignal motor was a gas motor but was converted over to a diesel before my time. This engine has no doors and only has a vinyl top. This rig is only used for special events.
    Glenbrook also had a 1972 Maxim "open cab" Engine with a 1000 GPM Hale single stage pump and a Detroit Diesel motor with an Allison Automatic transmission. This was sold in about 1991 or so??. I saw it on Ebay about 3 years ago I can't belive it's still around.
    In less someone can prove me wrong these were the only two engines every made by Maxim that had no doors.
    Back in 1986vwhen we took our driving test the Department of Motor vechicle sargent was speechless when we told him this type of rig was still in service.
    The current 1969/1993 Seagrave before remounting the ladder on the Spartan cab/Chassis was a ragtop but it had doors.
