That's a big ship.  Does that have pumper capacity and wonder if so, how much GPM?   Photo credit to Pierce and Flickr.

There appears to be a small pump panel behind the crew compartment door, and a pump panel amidships.

these type rigs are becoming very popular on the east coast with volunteer departments. most departments are eliminating an engine, tanker and rescue and combining them onto 1 rig. since most volley organizations usually only get 1 rig out the door on daytime responses there are a good fit for them. most have big water, hosebed w/ supply line , multiple hand lines, ladders , and rescue equipment
