'Bear Trap' - we call our inter-agency truck that sometimes 'bear' for Smokey the Bear and 'trap' to remind ourselves 1) not to get in that situation 2) to watch out for that situation

I like super soaker too. For some reason, "The Claw" sticks out, maybe because of the bear. How far are you from High Point/GSO?? I just may have to come check that out one day.

Were about 10 miles east of Charlotte. Come on down, we would be glad to have ya.

Thanks for all the comments so far. I'm gonna share them with all the members nest week and see if we can pick one name out of the bunch. Seen a couple that I really like, may have to veto everybody and pick the one I like. Its nice being in charge sometimes.....

Some of you commented on the cost of the truck. We have about 65 grand in it. The truck itself was free, I acquired it with the help of our ex-county manager. About 55K of that is just for fire equipment. Not to bad if you have the resources we had to pull from. Free mechanics, fabricators, painters and such. Can't beat volunteers when you need something done.

Those pics are exactly what we had planned on purchasing for a brush unit. We decided to save some $$$ and use the 5 ton that was originally going to be used for another project. It also allowed us to move alot more water and will give us a tanker credit for insurance ratings.

 

[alphadeltaromeo]

you could name it "alphadeltaromeo's future truck"

 

[mooresM35A2]

thats an awsome truck!!! how about "the beast"?

 

[5_TON_TOMATOE]

How about MIGHTY MO FO ? Or BIG MO FO? Not much room between the tandems with those tires is there? Nice truck!

 

[FreightTrain]

How about something shot and sweet.

DONK.

After the BIG guy off Crocodile Dundee.Big,Slow,and but packs a hell of a punch.

Or Fire Stalker since this is a brush truck.

 

[pa.rich]

Those tires sure do fill those large fender wells in front. Looking good. Smoky Bear gets my vote too.

 

[jd-ford-hd]

I like the color you chose. How about " ASH KICKER" !! Great Job.
