# 1- infrared imaging has been a tremendous tool for us in that in the past when we would enter a structure you had to search manually search by hand.

I am slightly confused. What job are you doing when you apparently are standing next to a burn barrel
We use a quint 75' American LaFrance. I personally prefer Quints in that you have all the tools of the trade in one, but there are ramifications with that. 1. Decreased maneuverability based on the size of the rig. 2. decreased amount of water tank. 3. Limits on height of ladder. But overall I personally like having Quints. We do have 3 pumpers and 2 quints.
