Damn, you boys took great care of that engine, if it wasn't for the old school switches in the cab I never would have guessed it was almost 30 years old.
Nothin like a spartan! My department has a 1986 Spartnan Gladiator/ Custom Fire Heavy Walk in Rescue it actually came from Humane Fire Department in PA. But we also have a 2004 105' Stick ladder thats a spartan and a 2010 Spartan Gladiator Rescue Engine and we ordered a 2021 spartan smeal engine
I wonder, why are they so rare, they could be a great compromise between engineer safety and storage. Usually american engines with midmount pumps loose a foot from each side of the pump compared to European rear mounted pumps. It is often stated, this is for engineer's safety, but in this particular case, he is fully enclosed with no additional space wasted. Why not build additional cabinets around the pump and put hoses, and, maybe, some tools there? Additionally, intakes and discharges would be protected by cabinet doors/roller shutters when not in use. This would allow to either make other cabinets slightly smaller and have a bigger water tank, or make the engine shorter, and thus more maneuverable.
This is odd to me because you dont just have a engine company around here your engine has too be self sufficient so many engines even have jaws or unlike what you mentioned the power tools we have one compartment over rear axle on passenger side where its all dewalt battery powertools drills impacts sawzaws flashlights one large scene light and we have the chargers for the batterys mounted in the cab
@@molassesflash both of the Downingtown Fire companies are volunteer and it’s worked for them. They split back in the 1940s I think and that’s when they split who was doing what. The stations are under 5 minutes apart so they cover the same area
Check out this BRAND NEW $380,000 Engine from New Whiteland Fire Department in Indiana!

That engine looks incredibly clean for being nearly 30 years old!
Yeah absolutely! It helps that it has a stainless steel body, it won’t rust
I love station rigs, they are so interesting.

Yeah it’s super clean! The all stainless steel body helps it last too!
No matter how many times I see an enclosed mid mount, they still look so strange
Yeah they definitely look different
The body of that truck was built not far where I live, awesome to see a saulsbury still in service
That’s cool! Yeah they are starting to get more rare
Heroes Next Door they have ALOT of these engine in Canada thats the only place you can find that engine its a newer sparten
Another great video! Always cool to see the inside of these rigs
Thanks dude!

0:55 i love the animation
What animation?
@HeroesNextDoor the one on the computer that says “engine 46-1”
Great video...had never seen the covered internal mid mount before...very interesting!!!
Yeah, definitely a unique set up

The cab look like a rescue honestly
I loved this.
Thanks for watching!
Love this channel
Thanks!
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
What's the average crew size for a volunteer engine?
Three to four including driver, captain, and crew but the big calls they can fill the seats quickly.
I know the owner of the company who made that trucks body.
That’s awesome! It’s crazy that it’s a 1994, it still looks brand new!
Oh wow here too early!
Haha never too early
Wow he very good rapper
What's the difference between an engine and one called a Pipeline truck?
Not 100% sure cause we have not heard of a pipeline truck yet.
That q is to new how do they make old trucks so modern

Yeah, it’s different than most stations. Since downingtown has 2 fire stations they spilt what apparatus is at each station
Its a good system so long as youre a paid department volunteer and it wont work

If it works it works dont change the system now
