is this a Pump Rescue Tender? (PRT)

These are classified as WrL's although in Hampsshire they are all equipped with RTA equipment

This Volvo series was - and still is - available with a factory crew cab, shared with Renault.

Most fire engines used this, so it is quite unusual to see this integrated custom built full width one, and I wonder which firm produced this?

Rob, Emergency One made this cab, initially because there was a delay in getting the factory crew cab to the UK but some services specified this type of cab, possibly to aid resale value at end of service life.

Thanks Stuart:

To my eyes this looks like a good job - much better executed than the crew cabs on London's newest Ategos. It looks like a fully tilting crew cab, and reminds me of the spacious custom crew cabs which Saxon built for some of the older generation of Volvo fire engines.
