An Olive-Drab.com visitor asks:
i am looking to begin a fire contract business with wildland forest fires. i need a water truck, 6×6, basically with the most water i can carry with the ability to get into and out of mountain terrain with varying degrees of incline. as i am jsut starting out i dont have tons of cash to buy a new truck nor do i really want a new truck, not really my style. i have discovered the m-50, seen it out on the line as well as around the country and am wondering if this is the best truck for my needs? is the m-50 the rigth truck for my expectations? is there another model i should be looking at? what should i expect with the m-50? does it need to be trailered from fire to fire or is driving what could be multi state distance a viable option?
Answer:
I suggest you review this website and perhaps contact the people there:
They are the experts in conversion of ex-mil trucks for fire protection usage. The website has a huge library of pertinent material and ideas.
