Ballpark idea:

Water weighs 8.3 lbs. per gallon, so multiply the capacity of the on-board water tank by 8.3 and then add some for the pumps, hoses, ladders, fire body, etc., and that'll give you an idea. Even if it only has a 500-gallon tank, you're looking at 4150 lbs. in water weight alone, so I'd say you're OK.

The only thing I'd be wary of is how much sitting it did ... if you start using it on a regular basis, any dried-out seals may start leaking like crazy.

I'd love to have such a truck, but I can't get one into the parking garage at work. :-(
