After being removed from service, many Fire Deptartments and state owned Forestry Services used them to aid against brush fires and large scale forest fires. Deptartments added lights, siren (not all), 250gal per mintue pump, and 1,000 gallon tank. Different departments added different additions, some exceeding 1,000 gallons. Most are still used today to combat fires.

Controls: Roll is steering, trim is throttle, 1 is normal lights, 2 is flashers. Enjoy!
