Type 1 Fire Truck
(OP)
Does anyone have a good reference point to find standards dimensions and turning specs for a Type 1 Fire truck? Its my understanding that this type of truck appears to be used in wild land/open space fire events.

A good reference would be to look at something like an International WorkStar with a front drive axle. That will give you a good idea of the turning radius.

Maybe a Type 1 would be similar in axle separation to an AASHTO H25? Any thoughts?
