Well my primary pumper is a 1973 Ford F-750 Western States. 1,000 gpm, 750 gallons of water. It's got Ford's 391 gas V-8 and a 5 speed. Ugh, trying to get rid of it.

Otherwise I can drive any of the other apparatus in the fleet. That is between the 2 agencies I volunteer for.

I'm just starting out at driving, so I'm limited to our squad for now. It's a 2008 GMC 5500 Top-Kick 4x4 crew cab with a Palmetto rescue/mini pumper body. In addition to rescue & EMS duties, this truck has a 750 GPM Hale pump and a Darley Fast-Foam unit.

We run a pair of HME 1871 chassis pumpers. The one on the left is an '06 and the other is a '98. For now, I'm limited to the GMC on the left or, if we're really short on guys, the tanker.
