The covered hose beds and roll up door layout sure seems to be the design de jour these days, is the covering to protect the hoses from sun damage/weather or debris when working? My local department just has a pair of 2018 engines that are totally enclosed all around and look more like heavy rescues than pumpers, but then again with all the snow we get it makes sense to keep things buttoned up. Just seems to me that the roofing would make it more difficult to restow and flake the hose with the reduced headroom.
