That's a hazmat tractor not usar.  

Thanks.  I was told that the one in the back was going to Hazmat 150, and the one pictured is still being decided.

County received three kme hazmat tractors and one kme usar tractor.  See below for pics of each.  Usar tractor has the "US&R" designation on the raised roof.

This type of cab set-up would look awesome on future TDA's that the county orders.

That bar in the very front is not code lights but scene lighting (LED).  Sorta like what guys are putting on their raised pick-up trucks these days.
