From that angle, it may be a KME.

The cab looks to be a Spartan cab. Also on the lower part of the door is an emblem with Sierra FF. I did a quick Google search and didn't get any apparatus manufacturer hits. Maybe they are a west coast small builder.

I agree with Jeff, deinately a Spartan cab/chassis. The raised roof extends over a portion of the driver/officer seating area. Pierce/KME/E-One/etc. raised roofs do not extend that far forward.

OOPS.... sorry.... No raised roofs here(in the city anyway) to compare to.(they wouldn't fit in most of our houses) That, & we haven't had any Spartans since the mid 80s.

It is a spartan sierra cab. Basically a gladiator used for urban interface. The pumper itself is mfg by Hi tech fire apparatus out of Oakdale calif.
