[topco130]

That is what a firetruck should sound like. What kind of siren is that?

[EngineCompany01]

trust me dude, It's 18 Engine and it's a quint.....up here in Pittsburgh quints are considered to be Engine Companies

[krbugalou]

18 Engine out of Squirrel Hill, there's another quint up in Mt. Washington and it is 27 Engine, my friend is one of the LTs up there

[BombMusicIndstry]

Or medical. Ha.

it was the first due on a fire alarm where the people on scene called dispatch to report there was no fire and it went through by orders of the Battalion Chief to check it out and reset the system

[FireFighterrock24]

thats a truck not an engine

[PghFireRescuePhoto]

it looks like a truck because it is a quint, but in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire considers quints to be in service as Engine Companies and when calls are dispatched they say "18 Engine" and on the back of the rig it says "E-18" trust me

[wheelingfire]

they call it an engine because it is a quint which is an engine company that does 5 things (pumps water, has a booster tank, has fire hose, aerial ladder [short one...like 75 ft.], and has ground ladders). It's main body size is that of an engine, but it looks like a ladder truck but the ladder is shorter than a normal truck company.

[snootysimsfan2]

Why do they call it an engine if it's a ladder truck?

[Xeroxi]

Cool :)

Nice to see Pittsburgh go back to Q sirens.

[108engineboss]

That thing is nice. The new fleet the city got is awesome. I believe 32 truck is starting to look at getting a new one.
