The p-15 I drove was on Andersen afb Guam. I was there from 79-81. We thought we had gotten the Rolls Royces of trucks when this showed up. They had to build a whole new addition to the station just so it could fit somewhere. I had great times riding on top and driving to calls.
@krubackfamily 6,100 gallons of water, 515 of AFFF. Each water turret cranked out 1,200 gpm. This thing was a beast to drive, You had to crank hard on the steering wheel to get that front bogey to turn, even with the power steering. It took a while to get it going, and more to haul it to a stop. I was a rookie at out station, so I usually rode the back turret. Now THAT was COOL! Great vid, thanks for posting!
This is in Hawaii isn't it? Thats an Oshkosh P-15. I bet this one is, or was, stationed at Hickam Air Force Base. What a wonderful truck. Thank you for posting this video.

I believe it is 5 or 6 K gallons of water. I don't recall exactly.
