It does sound like a lot...but the 3 tankers really are needed...the fire district covers approximately 50 square miles, most of which doesn't have hydrants.

The 3 tankers were refurbs by US Tanker. Cabs remained the same, warning light packages were upgraded from halogen rotators and blinkers, to LED and strobe combo. Few other upgrades inside cab, but the frame, chassis, etc, remained the same. Also, all three were upgraded to 3000 gallon tanks. If memory serves me correctly as well, the pumps were upgraded to 500 gpm.

The Fire Police vehicles were the two prior 39-71 and 39-72 (EFFD's 2 BLS rigs) retrofitted to replace prior ambulance conversions for fire police. The two BLS rigs were replaced by the 2 LifeLine rigs, which also are being dedicated.

No it was taken at EFFD Headquarters

[Guest chieftk]

I think the board of commissioners in the EFFD are doing a fine job at keeping all of there of equipment modern and up to date. Some other districts should follow there lead !!!!

The picture of the ambulance was taken at EFFD HQ.

If you are referring to the picture of the TANKER, yes, I agree, it does appear that way, but I believe it was taken outside the manufacturer's plant.

I may be mistaken though, I am not 100% sure.
