interesting thing about fire trucks… i asked a fire fighter friend from the US if he knew why their trucks were different to everywhere else in the world, and apparently it’s because US infrastructure is built for military use… if elsewhere in the world had the heavy duty roads, we might also have the heavier fire trucks
I have a hard time believeing this. The not just bike video adresses that tangentially. Non US fire trucks use commercial chassis and are cheaper, carry the same equipment and can fit into urban areas easier. It just seems to be a cultural thing. Truck big!
