Thanks for the pictures! I don't think I have ever seen an M36 used as a fire truck before. I bet they try to avoid U-turns in that one.

We just put our A3 in service today but not in time to make the structure fire we were called out to. I was working on the truck and would have made it to the fire if I didn't have 3 tires that were almost flat after sitting for a few weeks (yes, the CTIS is already disabled). I'm already starting to dislike those 2 piece A3 wheels.

Somewhere I got this pic of another M36 doing Fire Service in Texas:

Maverick1701,
Did the bed on the A3 came from another Deuce? There are quite a few Deuces and 5-tons in use as brush fire trucks around here.
