Fire Engines Photos

the bar in the middle of the rear crew doors spoils it. They could have been a bit lower.

Yes Tg seen it lower on other same cabbed machines, maybe an 'elf n safety issue to prevent accidents ? or just in eyeline sight to stop the view of the women ?

The yellow bar is for crew safety, when sat in rear crew cab the window is fairly low and gives some protection to the person sat near the window. I was on a night duty the other week and rode one of these pumps they are a vast improvement on the FL's crew cabs, much quieter, lots of storage space, opening roof vent unlike the Scarborough pumps. There are 4 new pumps currently in build for North Yorkshire with JDC bodywork due in the brigade September time.Great picture John.
