The South McCreary Fire Protection District (Pine Knot, Kentucky) covers a mostly rural area with few hydrants. Truck Committee Chairman Stephen King says the department designed this 4 GUYS pumper with a large water tank and Class A foam to provide a strong initial attack while awaiting tanker support. This vehicle is used as a first-out unit for structure fires and motor vehicle accidents. It has a top-mount pump panel for operator visibility and has more storage space than the older vehicle.
