I'm just wondering if the real Quint 212 has a hose bed or not, because if they were second-due on a working fire and a supply line needed to be laid, they would, of course, be unable to do so. I realize that this is where the controversy comes into play concerning quints, whether they should perform as an engine company.

And concerning the Code 3 Allentown ladder truck, C3 designates the Allentown model as "Ladder" 11, whereas in real life it's designated as "Engine" 11.

Here are the walk-around photos of the Quint:

It does have a hose bed on the officer's side. It is covered by a DP cover.
