What are all the Controls

The men and women who work on fire trucks must be trained to use the tools on the truck to save lives. Each of these controls helps manage the flow of water required for the type of fire being fought.

The Tribute Truck has a Special Purpose

Fires are dangerous. Firemen put themselves in harm’s way as they work to saves the lives and property of those in need. Sometimes things happen causing the life a first responder to be lost. The families of those who have passed from natural causes or lost their lives during the line of duty, often would like a final tribute celebrating their service. This truck carries the fallen heroes to their final place of rest.
