Those FMC firewagon pics are awesome! Post all you've got. That night shot is incredible!

This guy had 5 of these machines on a fire in Montana. Yah baby, those are flames on the hood and sides of the skidder. lol

I mean how lazy can you get with a water cannon? lol You drive down the road and shoot water. So easy even a chick can do it.

Those are the coolest looking FMC's I've ever seen. Is he from your area? I havent seen these rigs before, ever. There was an outfit in Estacada Oregon who used to convert them to fire tanks, but not as neat as these with the lights, etc.

 

[maxey6]

Skidgines are pretty popular around here for fighting fires. Not sure what make this machine is, but thought you might need a break from the FMC's lol

 

[maxey6]

Yep, the guy is from the Yaak River in Montana. He has 5 machines all on call during the summer with the Forest Circus on the westcoast. He's got 'em in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. I'll post a pic of their transportation.

Those things are really neat. I gotta hit the sack- got a 5:30 breakfast :drinkupmeeting.....

 

[maxey6]

He actually has a real nice truck and lowboy that he long hauls with. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. Otherwise here's some cheap transportation!

 

[maxey6]

I told you FMC's were so easy a chick could drive one. Well here she is. I think her name is Angela. First one she's drivin' down the road. Second one is a much closer shot just for the heck of it. lol
