  • In this video I will be showing you all of the new features I have added to this 1979 Duplex Fararr fire truck. Much improvement has been made coorecting the paint and removing rust from the tailboard. It is now a fully functional apparatus and is finally back in service.

      This time I I intentionally. Posted . Cuz I wanted to talk to you about your two and a half and 3 inch fire hose.. a list that came with the truck and if you bought those used the thing is you have to check the threads on both ends both the male and female lens to make sure it works with a thread on the truck if your house is not connect why haven't ...

    The term your looking for is a Portable Pond that was stored on the Drivers Side of the Apparatus. The one we had on there was a 3000gallon pond. Truck is lookin good cant believe the old girl still pumps!

      In the next video it will just be pumping from the tank, I got a bunch of unique brass nozzles from a destroyer that should make for some good film.

      Thanks for the comment! So I became a Telico firefighter about a year ago. Most of theyre equipment holds around 1,000 gallons. Since my tuck carry's about 2,300 gallons, any time there is a big fire Ill bring my truck on scene so they can refill they're tanker or fill up little brush trucks. Having such large capacity it also goes to structure fires and can be used as a water shuttle. It serves a variety of functions but Im just glad Im finally able to use the apparatus for its intended purpose.

    What’s with the badge on your belt? I don’t know of any firefighters that do that let alone carry one on them. Just leave it on your class A/B shirt! Oh, nice truck BTW.

    • @highvoltagemayhem3345
      @highvoltagemayhem3345  3 года назад

      No its a discharge. There were multiple 2 1/2 discharges on the back with one 1 1/2 discharge as well as a 2 1/2 direct fill on the left side. Over time one of the discharges got cut off and the direct fill broke off while I was using it one day.
