I am happy as a dead pig in the sunshine grin-

After many years in an old converted gas truck, we finally got to place our new technical rescue vehicle into service. We used to joke about having to get out to push the truck up the hills or forgetting to feed the squirrels– nothing more embarrassing blushthen responding emergency down I270 going 40mph up a hill while everyone else is blowing by us at 65-70mph wondering why we have lights and sirens, but are impeding the flow of traffic mad.

No more, this baby can travel and can hold almost everything we need (collapse stuff will still be hauled by trailer), with plenty of room to grow. Of course now, it will be months before we get a call whistle.

Nice ride! Unfortunately, the angle of the photo makes it hard to really see much of the vehicle. Got any more photos?

"... impeding the flow of traffic..."

Kinda reminds me of a L.A City Fire hook and ladder running code three down the #1 land of the Harbor Freeway at about 45 mph, really messing up traffic...
