I hear what your saying. And come monday(meeting night) I will bring it up and see if this truck is up to standards. If not there's not much I can do. I will leave it up to the board and if they want to release the truck then it will be their responcibilty knowing the consequences. I did this to...

Once again, With all due respect, I am not responsible for a roll over. If the truck is solid and the tank isnt going to fall off then its not in my hands. Forestry would. They are handing out the setups. I have built our newest Brush truck, added new skid unit, Lights, radio etc, am I going to...

Well thank you, its the best for of community service I can think of lol

CDLs no, must of our guys are older, the younger guys only wanna drive Brush trucks. Our guys are tested and if they dont pass then they cant drive it

Thank you very much sir, and well said. Im glad there is someone locally that can understand how it is. Just because its NFPA, doesnt mean someone cant get hurt. Just have to be safe. We get wrote up for driving to fast, or wreckless. So its not like were just a bunch of idiots not having any...

Lifes tuff, but everything happens for a reason and God has a plan. Hopefully your recovery is better than expected and you can go about living your life the way you want. Its sad to hear that your injury is from a mistake from a fellow ff. I wish all ff could have the best of training and...

Well said. Its not so easy in my area to get what we need. In fact my dept is in the more higher up dept( most of our trucks are good and we have the right gear) most can't get anything they need. Moneys tight everywhere. We apply for tons of grants and only get a few for things we need. We...

Im sorry to hear that. Most people don't understand how dangerous it can be. We put our lifes on the line for anyone. My life has definatly changed since I've been a firefighter/Emt. It makes you look at life differently and I would never trade that for anything. Only thing I hate is the...

Yea I figured that just didn't think it would happen so soon lol. I think I will stick around, id like to learn more about the deuce

Thank you. Like I said, there's alot of them used here. Yea I thought just cause we couldn't afford a new 100k$ tanker(tender) doesn't mean we can have a bad ass looking truck lol

Thanks! Good to see we have some hose draggers on this site. How you enjoying the fire service?

Sorry just noticed you said county, PONTOTOC!:D

Thank you, your the first real positive post. lol. south central ok, near the ada area if you know where thats at:beer:

With all do respect, Do not lecture me on our fallen brothers, I do not know you, and you do not know me. With that said I did what I was told, Im not going to say Im not going to build this truck because its not NFPA. There are so many more volunteer dept in the US than paid depts. You think...

Hey im just doing what im told. Forestry is what's handing them out. Volunteer dept know to take what they can get sometimes. I know of 4 dept in just my county alone that has the exact setup. And a paid dept near okc that has one also. These may be a "homemade tanker" to other states right now...

I have personaly filled it up to "full" on the level guage, and Drove it. Had no problems stopping or taking off. This is the setups our Forestry Dept is current sending out. We have a deuce(1200 gal) and a 5 ton(3500 gal). It does have automatic, but most guys rather go fight the fire than to...

If so he has done some work to it since his pictures. I sent him a pic. I bet he would know if he went to the beach this year or not lol

Look close, is this your truck? Was seen at surfside beach july 2011

This is actually not the same truck, look at the rear spring mounts, looks good though.

I love it, is it normal to put regular vehicle shocks on the back axel, id imagine it just there to try and calm the roughness just a bit, but it looked awkward
