Fire Engines Photos

Adelaide, South Australia, on the south coast of Australia.

Bronto really does get around the world - the 2-axle Steer Chassis here must be pretty rare for Fire Apparatus.

Great shot of an interesting rig.

Question. Once again I see significant money ($1, 000, 000.00) being spent on a vehicle that seats 2 people. You can not honestly expect me to believe that this vehicle operates with only 2 people. What does that mean? The purchase of a second vehicle to get the rest of the crew there? That flaw aside I do think it is a nice "looking" vehicle, not very well speced.

Todd, the point is that the support pump and it's crew will be on scene before this behemoth, as they'll be part of the initial response. Then if the incident commander requests a height appliance the aerial only needs a driver and a OIC as any other personnel needed for operations will already be on scene. :)
