         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...?

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.
