bump. no takers?

The 'Dominator' have a rearmount or sidemount pump bay?

Picture for the pumper?

European/Australasian or North American type? (In general. European/Australasian have ladders rather than a hose tray on top, hoses are in rolls in lockers, and usually have blue lights. This (http://www.bruckmur.at/feuerwehr/image/kfz_rlf.jpg) is a european pump, german to be more precise.

Usually, pumpers have between 500-1500 GPM, unless they're a special type of pumper called a 'high capacity pump unit'

Don't do the currency in marks, I assume that's your currency. Everywhere else here, trading is carried out in USD, or Universal Standard Dollars.

(OOC: And I want to add something. Looking at the specifications of a Dutch TAS (Tankautospuit, equivalent to a pumper) your tank capacity is quite large, since it is around 3700 litres. The Ziegler Aszet Comfort (which is in service in a neighbouring village here, really nice truck btw) only has got some 2000 litres of capacity. Of course, My M-5 firetruck has got a variable capacity of max. 3000 litres of water, but it is way larger than a normal Euro pumper. (6x6 versus 4x2), and you can expand pumpers to even 4500 litres at Rosenbauer (looking at the Eurosystem pumpers). Just wnated to say it was quite large for a standard model.

But, I suppose you are based on US firetrucks, looking at the pictures you use, and the names of the vehicles. I'm not familiar with US equipment, so I can't comment on that. )

OOC: You are correct, I did base my trucks off of American built apparatus. Mainly Pierce but I also looked at KME, Seagrave, E-One, and even some Rosenbauer. For the info I put up I just went with what seemed to be talked about on average between various companies, websites, and manufacturers. I realize that in reality the tanks and various specs are kind of large but thats the great thing about the net, I can make it work somehow lol! It was just things I think that could make various apparatus more effective when working on fires. These weren't meant to really represent any sort of standard model.

And thanks for the info on the monetary amounts, I'll go back and change everything over to USD, and I'll go and add pics.

Ah, it's a side-mount vehicle.

My style is three locker compartments each side and a rearmount, in european style, they are really compact compared to those huge american things, but then that's choice. It's nice to see one of these types of storefront around. Good work.

You a firefighter or do you just know facts about fire engines...err...that's 'fire truck' for you americans, I believe.

Oh, and you mentioned 'E-One' earlier...is that Emergency one?

You are correct, sir.

could it be possible for you to make a 120ft quint on a Volvo FM european articulated tractor-and-trailer chassis?

could it be possible for you to make a 120ft quint on a Volvo FM european articulated tractor-and-trailer chassis?Let me do a little research first and we'll see what the final procuct is!

OOC: You wouldn't happen to know of any websties with specs and pics, would you?

I have little time tonight, I'll give you links tommorow. Or, you could type 'Volvo FM' in google and see if there's any links that contain volvo.com or whatever the official site name is.

OOC: Would this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Roskilde_S1.jpg) be what you're after? Or something more like this (http://www.edenfire.com/newsroom/uploads/eden_tda_small.jpg) I'm way out of my league when it comes to European engines. I haven't been able to find any info on European tillers. I assume the latter is more what you're after, since you stated tractor drawn.

'tractor' refers to the cab unit of an articulated truck. I mean an american heavy ladder - 'cos they tend to be bigger and higher - like in the second photo, just on a chassis that happens to be european.

Apart from the cab and arrangement of equipment (the latter of which is usually done by the individual firefighters anyway - I think) fire engines from different countries tend to be the same-ish and not that hard to build. Anyway, you've already got the volvo cab and chassis, all you need to do is fit a ladder on the trailer like in the second picture & some lockers. An appropriate pump and 2000 gallon tank would be appreciated in the trailer, preferably two double-tyred wheels each side

Oh, and the website for the GB Volvo FM: Click here (http://www.volvo.com/trucks/uk-market/en-gb/trucks/VolvoFM_2005) Thinking of the 4x4 tractor unit.

We'd like to order eighteen AFFI type 2 wildland fire trucks, please. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Also, what's 'pump and roll' mean?
