texas-5-ton

Boy, we have been getting our butts kicked with grass fires !! But the "get-er-done 5 ton" hasn't missed a lick yet. Here is a video of it out of the station headed out to help a neighboring department on a large rangeland fire.

Enjoy..

Love it! The truck must have been in stealth mode. I was expecting a nice roar coming down the street but I could hardly hear it!

Great vid, but I can hear all the regular joes out there on the street saying, "Man, that siren has been playing far too long it's hurting my ears. That has to be the slowest fire truck ever!"

It takes her awhile to build up a head of steam but once she gets there, she will maintain 55 mph

All I have to say is: Without a Q, it really isnt a real piece of fire apparatus............
