Short of just renaming an engine or quint, How about the Squirt? Basically an Engine with a boom on top. Could serve as an engine and work larger fires on buildings with multiple floors that basic engines cannot. Wouldn't be considered a Ladder truck in any way. I know I'm gonna be asked the purpose for this unit but it certainly would make things interesting. An Engine that isn't considered a Ladder but with a boom instead.
New Unit Idea- The Squirt Truck

I like the idea; definitely a way to mix it up. The only issue I could see is that from a game standpoint (and irl to an extent) it would operate essentially the same as an engine. Most ladder trucks have the ability to flow water through the ladder which essentially lets them operate in the same way that a squirt does.

That is true. Just throwin it out there anyway haha. Trying to think of something new.

This would be great specifically for airports to expand the fleet and I'd really like it for when I eventually expand out and branch towards ARFF - s lot of new Rosenbauer Panthers come with them. I would expect it would still fall under the single ARFF vehicle though. As a domestic appliance I've seen only a small handful of them so far. I expect the answer you'll get is to use a Quint but differentiate it by a different graphic and name.
