Studdsville Fire Department is proud to announce that they have purchaced a Scania P450 daycab chassis.
The new truck will be delivered to Studdsville Specialty Vehicles, and will recieve a custom body specially configured for the department mechanics replacing the 1998 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.
The rig is going to become a mobile workshop so that small maintenance and repairs can be done at the fire station or on scene.
For this cause the rig has all sorts of tools, jacks and equipment on board and will have have compressor, hydraulic, electric and pneumatic generators.
The body has a rear roll up door and a internal crane so heavier parts, like pumps and gearboxes can be transported inside the truck.
The roll ups on the side house tools that can be grabbed from the inside and outside of the body.
And if a fire apparatus would break down on a busy road or highway the rig has a foldable matrix board on the rear of the body, and has a floodlight to light up a break down scene.
The truck is expected to be delivered in the next few weeks.
