Hi HDX that would be something to see a chaindriven truck that isn't in a museum. lol I googled B.C.'s fire program not long ago just out of curiosity I was pretty impressed from what I read and saw, their program looks much like what's setup south of the border in places like California. I know a couple guys that got on with the program here in Manitoba and it's kinda a joke in comparison all their training seems to be on the job and nothing to prepare them before hand. We don't have severe terrain that B.C. and Alberta have but we do have wind and lots of timber and the last two summers, little if any rain.
Hi Dunwurken if we put a pto on this truck would it be able to 'pump and roll'? Many of our fires are moving grass fires and they can move with great speed with our fierce prairie wind as I quickly discovered this past fall. Our pumper that's in those pictures when I put it into pump gear you can't drive and pump with it, but some other fire departments in the area can with their pumpers.
