This truck looks great I wish my truck was this good, it would make our response times unbeatable. What does it do on the 1/4 mile?

Boy, she looks pretty. I would agree with Ron, response times would be super! I think the fleet fuel budget for the year may be in trouble though! Can she pump as fast as she looks? :-)

Now I know how responce times can be cut back from seven minutes to three minutes. Thnis would make the city administraters happy.

This reminds me of Dubai's Chevrolet Corvette fire engines (can't bring myself to call them trucks!) - which are illustrated on this site.

Each one carried a dry powder system to tackle car fires on the main highways, but I think the advantage of their speed and acceleration was more than counteracted by the volume of traffic they usually had to contend with!
