Condition
From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
A 2008 Ford F-550 wildland firefighting truck with a 300-gallon water tank, foam cell, and a Rowe CAFS unit whose operation is unknown. Sells mainly to rural fire departments, volunteer brigades, and firefighting equipment parts sellers, so this is a parts-out or refurbish play. Confirm the CAFS pump and foam system work, and note the parking brake chime fault, which points to a switch or sensor issue to check.
