Great "pan" shot of a Rescue Pumper bowling along on a call.

For "the economics" - a Rescue Truck, combined with a Pumper, on a commercial truck chassis and cab. Sound familiar ?

That standard International Truck crew-cab must be a little cramped, especially in rear.

I imagine she responds primarily for road accidents, Medical First Responders; first-in Rescue, and man-power assist, at major fires; etc; so the Pumper side does not get stretched too much......

I believe, in Britain; was nick-named The Odd-Job appliance....some years ago....

It responds to fires as front line pumper as well as medical, HazMat, Rescue to MVAs etc. It carries cribbing on top and in compartments along with Hurst tools etc.

A few years ago Navistar introduced a longer cab with a deeper C pillar to accommodate SCBA in the seat backrests for the rear seats.

Their chassis continue to be popular for engines, tankers, 4X4 brush trucks, rescues and other applications.
