We introduced Alex Forman's Cal Fire strike force fleet last photo gallery. Here we have some close-up photos of several trucks. Above are tankers T22 and T78. T22 was made from a Boley tanker with pump panel removed and body mated to an older IHC Ford 9000 painted and detailed for CDF. It features Boley mirrors, Roco strobes, and Howards Hobbies license plates with a light bar from the parts box. Tanker T78 was made from a Boley/Matchbox kitbash, painted with decals applied to the tanker body as well as Roco lights and again, a light bar from the parts box.

The Battalion Chief's Truck below is a River Point Station pickup with Terra-torch unit (used for controlled burns) in the bed with decals, CA license plates, and front strobes.

At bottom is Engine 3590. This is a Cal Fire Model 19 from Beaumont, CA. Alex built this model about 10 years ago from a Puget Sound Castings kit. The hose bed over the pumps has been modified to hold reels and there are painted and weathered "hoses" on top of the rear section (made from rubber bands). Flood lights (3D printed) have also been installed between the hose reels. The light bar is from River Point Station and the Puget Sound wheels were replaced with wheels from Roco.
