Also not what structural firefighters would call an engine.

In addition to that are they made by ford or are they just Ford F-550 bodies that another company converts into a brush truck? We have a brush truck like that but it was built by another company that bought a 550 body to build it with.

Our engines do everything theirs do just on a smaller frame and with a weaker pump;

It’d be a F550 chassis built out as an engine for the Forest Service, BLM, NPS, BIA, or a state or local agency.

Brush truck is a slang for a wildland fire engine.

It’s a difference in lingo between wildland and structural; FDNY is a structural fire department, no reason to get butt hurt because you imagined a slight.

This was a conversation about structural firefighting engines that you interjected yourself into.

On top of all of this you still didn’t specify if it was built by Ford or built by another company using a Ford chassis. My bet is that it is the latter.

It’s Reddit; I’m not butt hurt man, what are you going on about? I get it, structure guys like to get all prissy about lingo; but the answer to the question “are their Ford fire engines” is yes, that truth cannot be changed.

It sounds like you’re the one getting upset about lingo. The question was if Ford made fire engines. You should work on your reading comprehension bud.

Also it’s there, not their.

I’m going to just assume you’re a East Coaster because this level of asshole is considered uncouth where I come from. Whatever bud.

Do they not call people out for being wrong where you are from?

u/RadioFreeCascadia Jan 09 '25

There are Ford fire engines. That is just a factual statement. Sorry bud.

u/Piercinald-Anastasia Jan 09 '25

So I see that you are still struggling with reading comprehension. Does Ford MAKE structural fire engines?

That wasn’t the specified question to start. But yes. Ford historically made structural fire engine and Ford chassis’s are extremely popular as the basis for wildland and interface engines today. See not that hard. Now go eat a bag of nails you asshole.

Blocking someone after they’ve proven you wrong is super soft. You’re 10-ply bud.
