Very nice looking setup. Love the dimond plate, makes her look like a million dollars! No winch?

Likewise....that is one sweet looking piece of fire equipment....every Fire Department ought to have one of those, just because of the versatility for getting into a place where a bigger vehicle couldn't get to in a hurry...I know they are mostly for brush or field fires, but it could do so much more than that...

Thanx for posting the pics....

Fire Gator, very nice set-up your department has with the Gator. Thanks for posting the pics. Like I said in another post, there are a few departments that I know of that are considering a UTV for small grass fires and more importatnly, rescue efforts.

So what equipment do you have installed? Looks to me like a hose line, a pump, and flat board bed. How much hose you have on there? Is there a water tank under the hose real and if so, how many gallon? Can the pump draft water as well from a drop tank or other water source? Any other tools I didn't notice or that you plan to add on yet?

Diamond plate looks awesome. Very nice rig.

To me, there isn't any metal that looks better than some nicely polished aluminum diamond plate!!!!....that rig has a bunch of it and it makes that whole unit look so flashy yet practical...

Does some company make that whole unit as one, or do you have to pick and choose the components to your own application???....whoever does that is doing a killer job most certainly!!!

skid unit is made by kimtek has 70 gallon tank scotty around the pump foam system with 5 gallons of foam 100' of 3/4 inch hose with tak force tip bubble cup nozzle the pump can draft from another source as well has capability to carry stokes basket or backboard for rescue use. code 3 frontier lightbar, ops switch bank and rear mid range light kits yet to mount on. trying to get the eight hours on it quickly so they can change oil at same time at dealer winch is still yet to be determined more pics to come also the skid unit is the same as john deere put on their gator for their plant use:Ysnd:
