Beautiful. My station has Truck 295. Same Grumman Aerial Cat except for different color on some parts it looks just like it. My LT wants to get rid of it but I would kill to keep that truck lol
Since you probably don't know, because of changes in the fire codes for greener fire apparatus production (and I don't mean the color green), the canopy cab and open cab configurations for fire apparatus are no longer allowed, and those old engines you used to hear are now obsolete in time, but some reserve rigs still have those old configurations and engines. This old Grumman AerialCat is now a reserve truck, thanks to the Seagrave TDA going in front line service.
Got the same truck at my station. She is a beast. We've got the same pump and tank setup as well. Got to love the aircraft style toggle switches within the cab.

I remember when that motor and exhaust sound was the norm! Too bad the young firemen of today didn't have this to experience.
