Fire Engines Photos

This is quite a intresting photo you made snaker ! Very impressive. I just wondering if the Zil pumpers have problems with their cooling system ? Or is it normal to have the motor compartment hood open ?

Thanks, Marcel!
Yes, you are right! At long fire, driver open the hood for better cooling.

Marcel its probably engine cooling, the wonderful RAF Mk 8 used to have its rear lockers opened to cool the pump engine.

Same in rural New Brunswick - we open the engine hoods of the more ancient pumpers, for better cooling. Don't want the old girls over-heating...

Great set of On-Scene photos from Snaker. Thanks.
