Fire apparatus

A fire apparatus, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a tractive element coupled to the chassis;
• a front cabin coupled to the chassis;
• a control panel including a control lever;
• a controllable element coupled to the chassis;
• and
• a linkage coupling the control lever to the controllable element, wherein the linkage includes:
• a first section coupled to the control lever and extending away from the control lever in a first longitudinal direction;
• a second section coupled to the first section and extending downward from the first section;
• and
• a third section coupled to the second section and the controllable element and extending away from the second section in a second longitudinal direction opposite the first longitudinal direction.

A fire apparatus, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a front cabin coupled to the chassis;
• a body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the front cabin, the body defining a storage compartment accessible from a lateral side of the body;
• a platform positioned between the front cabin and the body and configured to support an operator;
• a control panel coupled to the body and positioned such that the storage compartment extends beneath the control panel, the control panel including a control lever pivotably coupled to the body;
• a pump system coupled to the chassis and configured to provide a flow of pressurized fluid;
• and
• a linkage coupling the control lever to the pump system, the linkage extending around the storage compartment, wherein the linkage includes:
• a first link pivotably coupled to the control lever and extending rearward from the control lever;
• a second link pivotably coupled to the first link and extending downward from the first link;
• and
• a third link pivotably coupled to the first link and extending forward from the second link toward the pump system.
