Yes, siren recessed in bumper.

Rig will fit fine in the firehouse if that's what you meant by the doors.

The siren is recessed in the bumper to keep the bumper extension as short as possible keeping the OAL as short as possible.

Some of the rig's specs:

2012 Seagrave Marauder II 6-Man cab

Seats 4 firefighters

3000 gallon water tank

1500 GPM Waterous pump

Cummins 500HP motor

Allison 6-speed transmission

Two 10" side chutes

12" rear dump chute

Two Zico pond (not rack...) lifts

Whelen warning lights, scene lights and tank level lights

Federal Q and PA300 sirens

The rig committee set out to replace our current T10 with an apparatus that could dump and fill in the same amount of time, if not faster - with an additional intention of making it "user friendly" for our current E119 drivers, attempting to duplicate as much as we reasonably could with regards to how it drives and pumps. We also designed it to be an efficient nursing Tanker, by installing LDH discharge and using a 4" tank to pump line.

We look forward to taking delivery of it and putting it into service, where we expect it to provide us and our neighbors with many years of excellent, dependable service.

actually Croton is keeping the old tanker, but the FD will not be using her... The cab and frame will be cleared of the FD body and the DPW will be installing a swap lift system to it so that it can be used as a dump truck, dumpster truck or what ever they need.

Originally the DPW wa putting in for a new truck, so when the issue of the Village getting a new tanker came up, the DPW pulled the new truck for our old cab and chassis. Personally I think it was a great idea, as what we would get $ 5,000 like we got for the old E119...

hey 4093, that was a great MA call... we got to bunk with some good guys, had our choice of maybe 75 couches and got to run out on a call in over night hours...

One tanker is enough.... although I LOVED that old girl, the new one will be used well...

Seems like it's had a decent history. Another nice photo of it: http://www.engine119.com/DSC_0063.jpg

Very nice looking truck, Question to ask since I haven't used tankers the Grey metal boxes on the side they come down on the ground like a portable pool and it gets filled up by the discharges on the side of the truck?

Then you would draft out of that "pool" correct?
