Sooooooo...why equip a V-150 with a powerful water pump to fight fires? If a local fire station is known to be in the area, why not a cache with spare parts to repair the pumpers?
Wouldn't the fire stations be inside the heavily damaged zones for most of the nuclear impacts?

Add, no two fire departments have the same trucks and most are replaced at 5 year intervals. You could end up with spare parts for an International and the FD has Mack.

Probably best to cache trucks and all the necessary equipment. Probably fusion too, since there isn't likely to be diesel for a fire truck anyway.
