Yeah she certainly will! We have some great plans for her when she's painted up over the next few weeks (fitting a full strobe system and 2-tone/electronic sirens). Already have most the equipment for her (portable pump / 20+ lengths of hose / BA sets / RTA extraction eqpt)

Nice!
Funny thing is that their is even older fire engines still in service in the Dublin Fire Brigade (I saw an '85 one not too long ago).

Cheers!
Some of the older appliances you mentioned are specialist units (TL's/ET's/FoT's/boat carriers etc) etc and they get such little use compared to class B tenders (like this) that do much more work hence the class B's get withdrawn and the specials stay in service!
