Tri-Community V.F.D.
Another example of a front-mount pump. This International Loadstar chassis had a new body and pump built by Rosenbauer Fire Apparatus. This VFD can really stretch a dollar, they rebuild all their apparatus from used trucks. Tri-Comm VFD serves the Collegedale, Ooltewah and Apison areas of suburban Chattanooga, Tennessee USA.

One "busy" front-end - the piping, running aft to the body, must indicate a Water Tank, which would explain why she is sitting low on her rear-axle, despite the weight of pump forward. Might be a challenge to drive....
Great Front-Mount photo.

Quite likely that both axles are overloaded - that pump is no lightweight, plus all that plumbing...
This problem of overloading is unfortunately quite common with a lot of budget fire truck conversions on both new and used commercial chassis, not only in North America!
