It has an open cab, altho has doors on it.

He calls it a C-30, but that's a C-50.

Anyone know the reasoning for the open cabs seen on fire apparatus?

Till it starts raining or worse snowing. Had snow build up on floorboard and seat while responding. Been there done that got frostbite/t shirt. Will take full heated/AC/safe cab any day.

I always wondered about that. What was a real downpour like, especially at slower speeds?

In heavy snow, at a fire, would you all cover the cab?
