Are those Steel or Aluminum tubing? My gut is saying steel, but 120lbs seems optimistic for steel, unless it is insanely thin tubing.

I remember in 2015 we were one of the last non fire vehicles to come down Hwy16/Hwy20 as one of the fires (Rocky Fire I think) advanced up to the road. My dad thought it was really funny since we saw 2 strike teams from our area, and 2 of the units were from the city he works in and another was...

C-5's and C-17's are part of our daily life here as well, rarely does a day go by where you don't see or hear one, whenever the war in the Middle East picked up you would know without having to watch the news as flights increased and different flight patterns were taken due to increased traffic...

https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5256/ USFS information page on the fire. Seems they are expecting more growth with a Type 2 Incident Management team taking over today as well as more units arriving. If I could get into ROSS I could give a more firm update, but I can't.

Yeah Phoenix is like 120 degrees today? We have had 105 - 110 degrees all weekend and at night it hasn't gone below 80 degrees, and we aren't even getting the worst of it.

It always seems like I am unavailable for these things! I have to remember that we do this the first week of August generally. Off to the East Coast of MTB Nationals July 5th and won't be back til the 5th or 6th of August. On the flip side I don't have an MV so I guess it would be better to...

I say 2 months. That does bring you to a dilemma though having yet another working SEE as you will have to salvage one or buy another one. Although your girlfriend may be starting to thing you have a fetish for SEE's since you keep buying them.:lol:

I Couldn't help you with that, but there are a few guys in the state that know them well. Best place to go would be here.

That is a great sound, but I personally prefer how the C-5's sound when they fly over the house. Before I was on SS a C-5 was either coming into or leaving (can't remember which) Travis AFB and flew no more than 3000 feet over the house. Windows rattled, dogs went crazy, and the sound was...

Welcome to the site!

That sounds like a great set-up. I am guessing quick disconnects on all of the hoses?

That sounds like a fun idea, and it might just work.

I would think you would have to get a whole new wrecker. You could get a non-runner though and it would be fairly cheap (talking in relatives). Don't know the rating on those supports, so I would research that before you do anything, although if they can hold up the whole rear-end of the...

An American Deuce*

That is why you: A) Make sure you run faster than everyone else in the group or B) Have more firepower that a .44 Magnum or C) Have both A and B to make you ultra safe But I digress, we are taking over this thread.

That leads to a very good point for all MV's. They were designed to meet the requirements of a soldier in a combat zone with bullets flying overhead and mines laying underfoot. They are not designed for everything we may do, or want to do, with them, and we must keep our vehicle's limitations in...

Blue is the containment lines set for the day shift today (11/30/16). Look at it and let it sink in. If no one gets it I'll explain it tomorrow morning or afternoon.

Out West and in bigger cities it is fairly common, sadly. There was a fire, the Clayton Fire, that ripped through Lower Lake this summer destroying 300 buildings, cause, arson. And now Prop 47 makes the situation worse. Coming from the West Coast I have to laugh at this, because it sums up our...

Or behind, many times have I seen the trailer axles roll over the hood and crush the passenger compartment of a car that was following to closely or going to fast and unable to stop, colliding with the rear of the trailer, sadly at that point it is no longer a rescue operation.

Depending on if I go to Los Banos on Oct. 15 I might have more to add. Air show is in town here that weekend and if I stay I'll go it with the fire department for standby, however if I go to Los Banos I won't have anything and I won't have as much fun. Hmph.
