"Florida Brush Trucks"
Florida fire departments utilize a variety of brush trucks from pickup type units
to custom brush trucks to modified military chassis brush trucks.

Florida has a significant brush and forest fire history so many of the departments
have built vehicles for off road use. Many have some level of bar work for
vehicle and fire fighter protection. Some also have remote controlled monitors
allowing pump and roll fire fighting.

The following photos were taken during recent visits to the Sunshine State
in 2015 of some of their brush trucks.

Additional photos added from 2016, 2017, and 2018 visits to Florida.

On the way down I-95 in Florida we could see this one for miles.

It is not unusual to see brush fires in Florida this time of year. As it turned out, this particular
one was a 600 acre controlled burn. There were several other major brush fires in Florida
in the weeks to follow.
