The open style cab allows seating for five firefighters. There is a Compaq Presario Laptop mounted in the cab to allow access to either the driver or officer.  The computer is equipped with street atlas programming with full GPS capabilities.  A wireless network setup through the station allows the transfer of various reports from the apparatus to the main computer system in the station.

This unit was purchased new in 1986 and runs first due on accidents and still alarms.
