Wanting to know what equipment is designed to be a fire trucka Hello, I want to know what equipment is designed to be stored on a fire truck, because I've just been elected leader unit. I asked the FSC, but it's like banging your head against a brick wall talking to them, I have a list, but I'm not sure if that's all I need.
