When water flow is needed, Engine 454 is more than capable. This engine is set up for a quick interior attack with numerous pre-connected hand lines. And, when the situation warrants, large volumes of water can be applied using 3 Deck Guns. Enjoy the tour.

	The Driver's Seat features an air-ride seat. All Controls are mounted within easy reach.
	Engine 454 is an 8-man cab with room for 6 in the jump seat area. All jump seats are equipped with an SCBA with mask mounted above the firefighter.
	The jump seat area also features an "EMS" Cabinet. We use it to store portable radios and charger, a 4-gas monitor and personal rope bags along with a small refrigerator with bottled water.
	Located directly behind the jump seat door is a small cabinet used to store spare SCBA cylinders. The large cylinder pictured is not part of the cascade system, it is an air cylinder piped to the pump panel for the operator when needed.
	The Pump features the Command Zone computerized pump control, digital flow meters and color-coded gauges. The remote controlled Top Gun features a 4" water-way, capable of flowing up to 2,000 GPM.
