About the real apparatus

The rig behind the model.

This is a 1-1 model of L.A County's Engine 4143, a 2019 BME Type 3 on an International chassis. She is located at Station 143 in Castaic servicing that side of the County.

Furnished with a full interior, this rig comes with a sticker pack upon purchase to detail the entire exterior of the apparatus. It has a sophisticated 500GPM pump and 180Gal of onboard water with 20Gal of A class foam. On top of the rear is 2 removeable covers for also removeable hose lays, that can be used for extra storage. This is a close copy of my last build for VCFD but with a few modifications around the vehicle and primarily the pump panel, and of course a new paintjob.
