Fulfillment...

Every boy's dream came true for me today. I got to drive this (it's a P-23 crash truck). Got to shoot the water cannons, too. For you spec geeks out there, drool over this:
The Oshkosh T-3000 is a diesel-powered, six wheel-drive truck with an automatic transmission. The operator controls consist of power-assisted steering, air or mechanical brakes, transmission range selector, and in-cab controls for operating the fire-fighting system. The water storage tank has a capacity of 3,000 gallons. The roof turret has a discharge rate of 600 to 1,200 gpm and an infinitely variable pattern from straight stream to fully dispersed. The bumper turret is electric joystick controlled with auto-oscillation. The discharge rate is 300 gpm and it is also variable pattern.

Sometimes, my job's pretty cool.

Cool! Sometimes it is nice to get out from behind that desk! Glad you had fun!

Takes me back to the yellow ones we had for our Matchbox cars. Did they break apart a model plane for you to drive up to like we used to do?

Totally jealous!
