Any ideas as to who owns this, they have obviously spent a lot of time and money (look at the LED lightbars!) on this truck. LAPD?

Yes I know the owner of this appliance and he does a lot of charity and fund-raising with it.

This appears to be a rather smart looking medium size appliance. Were they popular with the firemen David or did they have limitations, thanks, , ??

They were popular with the last few slowly exiting rural fire service and most surviving without the need for repowers etc. SOme example however had open rear cabs which weren't always popular while one example had a raised mid mounted pump panel.
