Lou, what is in the roll up locker between the two cab doors, and the different coloured attack lines, red white and blue??

Some departments have rescue and EMS gear in a locker above the front axle like this for ease of access, and in addition this space is sometimes used for a stretcher or "medical cell". Color-coding different diameter hose lines is also increasingly popular, especially with volunteer fire companies. US pumpers can be variously equipped with 1 inch, 1.5 inch, 1.75 inch, 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 3 inch, 3.5 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch and/or 6 inch hoses. "Get the blue line", etc, makes it much easier, and also makes tracking hose lines at larger incidents much easier.
