New addition to the BCFD6 fleet

BCFD6 has completed the build of a new fire truck and has added it to the fleet. The 1998 Stewart and Stevens chassis comes from federal surplus. The truck will enhance the ability of BCFD6 to fight wildland fires in rugged terrain. It holds 1250 gallons of water and other wildland firefighting equipment. All of the equipment mounted to the truck has been bolted on. This will make it easier to remove and place on a new truck in the event this chassis wears out or breaks beyond repair. This truck is slower on the highway than many new vehicles, but more than makes up for being slow once its off the road fighting fires.
