The nickname for Squad 3 comes from one of my personal idols, Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy led his 1st US Volunteer Cavalry, the "Rough Riders", into battle in the Spanish-American War.
Squad 1 and Squad 3 together. They are the only two Pierce trucks in the department.
**NOTES**
I had an awesome time designing and building this rig. I used some of the details of my own rig, Topsfield Engine 3, to design the Impel cab. Some of these features can be found in the front floodlight, side cab emergency light, turn signal, and roof windows. It's one of my favorite trucks and it'll be sticking around for a long time!

Not bad, not bad at all. My question, though, is why anyone would choose to have the hose connections in a compartment when you could have a perfectly good PUC :)
I'm not a fan of how it looked with the PUC pump. I tried side-mount, top-mount, PUC standard, PUC top-mount... nothing I liked. So now I tried this and I love it! |
