The TDA tractors will be KME Severe Service™ cabs with 18-inch raised roofs,and Cummins ISX-12 500-hp engines. The aerials include custom fire bodies with transverse upper and lower compartments, a large ground ladder complement, and AerialCat™ 101-foot ladders with prepiped waterways.

The units were sold by Hawaii Specialty Vehicles in Honolulu, KME’s dealer for Hawaii.
