We have a model 5 housing that we just finished repainting and were showing the people at the FD how it looked b/c they are thinking about repainting the one in the video.

The PGA timer was a timer that federal made that worked like the AR timer except it only had 1 function. It would only do a 2 min attack plusit had a test button.
