Velocity® PUC™ Pumper - Longview Fire Department, TX

Learn about Longview Fire Department’s Velocity PUC Pumper with Battalion Chief Jon-Eric Johnson. All the compartments are designed with ergonomics in mind, so equipment can be accessed quickly and easily. Rear facing seats help firefighters communicate while giving the driver increased visibility. The remote radio head also increases the driver’s communication. EMS compartments were placed in the back of the cab so gear can be accessed from inside and outside of the cab. The hose bed is placed as low as possible to be accessible and provides extra storage space.

Love seeing new ideas! I’ve seen so many of these videos that really don’t show off any new ideas or innovation.

The departure from the transverse cross lays just behind the cab, to pre-conects coming off the back, what advantages did this give you? I always like to know why choices were made, and since this seems to a change from most I am interested in learning why this works best for you. Thanks

I can say our dept heavily believes in pulling past the building. You can’t stretch an aerial, but you can stretch hose. So the truck always parks in front. And the engine stretches off the back, back towards the house. No more crosslays.

Somebody should invent a mirror housing cover with built-in LED's on these trucks
