Jesse Row It is awesome!

Amen!

Or D/O freezing their ass off in January at a 2am barn fire.

Aww come on. It looks great.

Darren van Ek I love it it's a Kenworth t600

A T600 with an extended cab..uhh...with bus doors...and uhh...a utility, pickup, bed...uhh...thingy.

+theone2225 They're more popular here in MN.

Ryan Olsen ya Im from NY State and Ive never seen anything like that. Pretty interesting to see.

+theone2225 Glad you enjoyed it.

+Ryan Olsen What is special about that apparatus? With the huge cab does it carry more manpower or is it just to be different. Awesome piece.

Thank you! Yes, there are a lot of Commercial cabs such as Freightliner, (some) Fords, Peterbilt, and International.

Commercial chassis apparatus are almost always several hundred thousand dollars cheaper than a custom cab. In my personal opinion (my entire department with exception of myself disagrees) there are very rarely circumstances where a custom cab is required, that being tight spaces. A commercial cab (in addition to significant cost savings) often has more spec options, engine, transmission, axles, suspension, cab, than a custom. Maintenance is often easier, especially in more rural areas (unless Massey Ferguson gets into the emergency services market). And of course those areas in dire financial straits, can remount on chassis they already have, or get donor trucks.

Ps

shooter4287 this is because of rural area fire standards, they are different than you expect in a city

More for financial reasons then standards. A truck built on a Commercial chassis will save a Department tens of thousands if not a couple hundred thousand compared to a custom built one. Burnsville and St. Paul fire departments used to run units like that kenworth. Burnsville ran Peterbilt and Saint Paul ran Ford's with that similar rear cab.

Thank, you!!!!

+Blue Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I've got 30 + more video's of LFD, as I live in Lindstrom. I just however, cannot post them, per Dept. Policy. This was the only one I was able to do.

+Ryan Olsen I know this is over a year old but how can a department policy keep you from posting videos of them? Especially if you aren't a member of said department. I'd post away.

grey man some departments have a no media policy for members, or have a policy asking the public to not post pictures or videos. And if you break the policy they can fire you or remove you from department

most have a open door policy like mine does meaning any one wishing to vist take pic or videos can.

Those trucks now are rare they used to be around a lot now it's hard to find them

+garlic287 LOL!!

Do they have a ladder ?

Surprised they left two trucks in the station

Is there photos of this rig anywhere?

Thank you!

Thanks!!

Ryan Olsen w0 a

Yes- it is! It has since been sold.

No, it didn't. Haha! That would be SO bad!

Phew! I was getting slightly nervous haha!

Yes, they do. Each Agency has a different pager tone.

Yes Very much. They differs by everything you mentioned mainly they differ on the Dept.

+Jaxson Warner Agreed! :-)

Agreed!

Jaxson Warner ikr

That was the Engine. It has since been replaced by a brand new 2015 Pumper.

Ryan Olsen

Brandon Hess the manufacture is a Kenworth t600 body of the cab

That was the old Engine.

+Boeingfan727 Nope - No need for a Tower and or Air-Boat on a grass fire. L.F.D. just had a brand new black over yellow Fire Engine built. They're switching colors.

Actually yellow is a more common and more safe color cause you can see t easier they call them visibility yellow for some reason. Ours in Goreville Illinois are yellow. We have a yellow engine, yellow tanker, white brush and two rescue units one is a 1980 box ambulance that's white with a green stripe (which is now a backup/secondary) and one is a 1990ford rescue pickup with a top on it and its yellow as well with red reflective stripes on the back.

Thanks!

Spec wise? On this rig or their new one?

This rig. I haven't seen the new one.

This rig (now retired) is a 1995 Kenworth / General Safety.

I bought it along with the Programming Software.

The second was the Grass Rig, and the third was the Rescue.

They're pretty popular around here.

It is a neat looking rig!

Ryan Scott Olsen wat is it pov or an actual brush truck?

The Durango is the (now retired) Chief's buggy.

If you count each apparatus response as a run, they get 19 a year, 5 of which were in this video.

Not in the slightest!

What about rescues?

Thank you!

it looks weird

No, they didn't. As of right now, they won't be doing anything to it. The City didn't approve of an addition.

Ryan Olsen hope they approve it sometime because someone might vandalize the trucks

It has been approved, actually. :)

Ryan Olsen thanks for the reply

I think the people of Lindstrom will regret having that POS Rosen more than having that beat up old Kenworth. But ya know if they'd rather buy cheap European made garbage, then they'll get what they pay for.

i did, too! It has since been replaced.

LFD is a Volunteer Department.

Is that a serious question? They sent 5 apparatus to a grass fire. The answer is obvious.

+lilwolfe2000 Yes, it never seems to get any easier, either.

They are the Engine and Tanker.

Thank you!

Almost, yes! Thank you!

Ryan Scott Olsen no problem I got the same pager as you

The V is a good pager. I like my VI better, though.

Ryan Scott Olsen nice very good

It's a pretty common tone -- for the Minitor pagers.

Nope. Sorry dude!

They are. but with a voulnteer fire department it takes a little longer to get going cause the FFs aren't there so they have to leave from home or wherever there at then get to the trucks then respond and go where's a full/part time department has people at the station to just jump in the trucks.

Dave Yognaut Thanks!

No, they were't. Both grass rigs were deployed, and units were canceled shortly after the Engine left.
