This is an amazing looking piece of kit !
Does anyone have any technical specs on the appliance, ie bhp, ladder reach etc etc, i did e-mail the manufacturer, but i think they thought i wanted to buy one!

I have to agree. These new Moritas are very futuristic looking. As befitting the Japanese trucks.
Love the bright red as well.

Pete:
There are also another 208 fire stations manned by unpaid volunteers - who routinely respond to first alarms in their local areas and neighboring communities.
With only 80 full time fire stations in this very congested city of over 9.3 million people and 845 square miles, these volunteer fire companies are often first on scene at incidents. They are mostly equipped with very small mini pumpers, which can often get to work in narrow streets and alleys which are inaccessible to TFD's larger full-time pumpers - and so they are often able to get started on firefighting and exposure protection before the full-time crews can get to work...
