cabs look tight , where are the B/A sets stowed?

Added by Alan Ramsay on 25 April 2017.

The BA sets have been moved in to a locker. More info: youtu.be/HmBsVQzrrYA?t=16s (Virtual tour of the new fire engine)

had a look , these appliances are really just a midi style as used by highlands and islands for quieter retained and volunteer stations as well as other brigades , seems a reasonable response from the brigade but it just seems like a cheap fire appliance , does it have a decent rtc capacity ? are there hatch and roof ladders ? its a laugh saying its cleaner to have the sets in an outside locker where their is no opportunity ti check on the way or rig up when stopped without going out and round and stand in a line and wait , not for me and I bet not for the crews involved either , cost cutting exercise is all it is , no more

Are they not only 2-3 man cabs?

If they are any more than two in the back I hope they like each other, I just seen one at a building site and had a look in the back and no side and even less knee room.

Tom - are these very short crew cabs the ones with two outward-facing sideways-mounted rear seats?

Similar cabs are often found on Unimog, Renault Midlum and certain MAN units, which are used for forest and brush firefighting, as well as Ivecos.

The idea is that if you do not need three or four rear seats, a shorter cab works just fine.

No it had a rear seat across for four with belts, not ideal for anyone in fire kit and neither was the step up.
