Everyone who converted fire trucks! What did you do with all the gear?

! I would have so much fun with that stuff. It might end up with my garden looking like the front of the Bellagio though ?

If you were on the same island, I'd own that pump! Get's kinda hot over here in summer. That would be great to have hooked to the 90000 litres of fire water we have here at home. Much more impressive than my small diesel pump and tractor driven backup! I'd keep that light tower and build it into your Hab Box!

im for sure going to keep the lights, snow chains and that access ladder (for the drivers cab). But there seems to be in addition to the pump (which i bet is cool but i have no use for) a whole bunch of hydraulic cutting equipment etc. Again, cool, but uses?

Since you are on that side of the pond there probably is a market for that used equipment.
The hydraulic tools have uses beyond firefighting

ever seen scrapheap challenge/junkyard wars? There are all sorts of things you can build with hydraulics - and given the nature of your rig some sort of crane/hoist for spare wheels and lifting onto external storage could be useful

The other option worth considering is dropping into your local fire brigade with a list of what you have... If it's anything like over here, they are always after more stuff. The hydraulic cutters, spreaders and ram (if you still have them) would make for very good training aids or backup on a second truck. The 'Storz' fittings on your pump are still current here and sought after. If the brigade didn't have a use for them, they would know who would...
