[MoonDawg]

         When the wildfires broke out last year in Malibu, one guy had a restored
firetruck and saved every house on his street but homes all around them burned
down.

If I had the cash, and the room, I'd have it in  my driveway.
But theen, I always want   100 ft  or so of railway track and a caboose to put it on....

Pretty Kewl ! ! !
It has a front-mounted pump that I'll guess is rated at 500 gpm based on the two-2 1/2" discharges. General rule of thumb is 250 gpm per 2 1/2" discharge.
How much is the seller asking...?
Does everything still function and does it run...?

Guy is asking 1800, but he said he'd do 1500...Truck itself only has 4400 original miles on it.. runs great , can drive it home and has title... tires are good, not sure on brakes yet... I'll get some more photos tomorrow as were going back to look at it again!...

I'd offer $1,200.00 Its not like its a easy thing to sell. " Hey Honey im going to the grocery store I think i'll take the fire truck!"

These things don't sell real well. You might let him stew for a few days and offer him $1000.
If he says no and it sits for several more weeks he might be ready to sell. After all you said you don't really need it.
