The two lower storage compartments on each side are provided with drain holes and rubber vacuator
valves in the floor plates to ensure positive draining of water. The vacuator valves prevent intrusion of mud and dirt
when the truck is traveling in a wet environment. All storage compartments are provided with large D-ring handles to
ensure that crewmembers can access the compartments while wearing protective gloves. A large hatch on top of the
body provides access to the water and foam tank fill covers. The hose bed will accommodate 1-1/2 inch, 2-1/2 inch,
and/or 6 inch size fire hose. Connections for tank fill, pump suction, and water discharge are provided through the rear
panel. The rear step provides easy access to the hose bed and also functions as the rear bumper.
