You know Bill, seeing that picture again started me wondering how the fire departments handle their tire situation, I can't imagine that they use recaps or do they rotate them like a standard truck fleet would using caps on the duals and bringing the drivers back? Do they use standard sidewalls or heavy duty?

Hi Gepetto!
You pose an interesting question! I can only speak for the departments I was associated with in the past. When tires were needed for any apparatus, we only used new OEM rated tires due to reliability situations with recaps. Whether they were standard or heavy duty depended on the GVW weight rating, duty, & equipment assignments. Normally they were replaced with the same rated tires as came on the apparatus from the manufacturer, unless there were modifications, or additional weight added during their service life, & then manufacturers would make any recommended changes. Steer tires are different tread than drive tires usually, so they normally can't be interchanged.

Hello Bill  :wave:

We are all dying with anticipation of your next Playmo CSI diorama :yup:...

That could well inspire me a murder mystery at the Mansion diorama this autumn  ;)?

We cannot wait to see how the storyline will evolve...

Thank you !!!

I'm working on some custom projects for fellow Playmofriends, & getting some ideas together for the continuation of the CSI photo stories, so sequels are in the works! Thank you for your support Karim, it is greatly appreciated!

Hello Bill,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Your custom airport fire truck is amazing :wow:. I cant really find words to describe how much I like this new addition to your fleet. I like how you used the water tank of the child's tractor, I would never have thought of it myself. It looks excellent with the yellow jerry cans and boxes. Keep up the good work Bill, I am looking forward to seeing more !
