I think the reason why they have this unit is that it is a used former airport rig that somebody was smart enough to buy - probably very cheaply from either a military base or from a local airport that was switching to newer equipment. These are built like tanks and will last forever if well-maintained, and I bet it cost 10% of what a new full-size tanker would’ve cost. They get little to no use, and so even an older unit like this could have under 1000 miles on it. And they are usually very well maintained. Not the easiest thing to drive around in a town, but this appears to be a fairly Rural area, so it’s just a really smart idea. There’s plenty of these rigs floating around on the used equipment market, so if you get a chance to buy one for your town - buy it!👍😁

Yeah, they went in hard.

In the 1960’s in Minneapolis, a gasoline tanker truck overturned in a city intersection, turning the whole intersection into a mass of fire. The fire department was having a hard time with it because they didn’t have enough foam capability to handle a large gasoline fire, so they concentrated on saving the surrounding buildings. They called MSP airport for help. A crash truck arrived and hit it with foam and the gasoline fire was knocked down within minutes, so the city fire department was left to finish the structural firefighting.

Not every structure fire is fully involved. Most of the time it's room an contents. Not to mention, a lot of times people have these things called trees all around their houses, that would make a foam turret useless. Then there's the cost. ARFF trucks are a SPECIALTY apparatus for a reason. You don't have vent fans, or supply lines on them, not to mention ladders and pike poles, and many of the other tools an engine carries. The other thing is that ARFF trucks are usually located at airports where they're REQUIRED to have a minimum number of trucks on hand, or the airport has to shut down operations. The FACT is, they're just not practical for most structure fires, and usually are only special called for special circumstances in industrial fires. Go calm down and play with your lego fire trucks or something.

@gwencrawford737

The P-19 carries 1000 gallons of water, and 130 gallons of foam concentrate. You're going to need a water supply early on with an EV fire that's REALLY going good. 1000 gallons ain't gonna do it. The foam use? Really may or may not do much good... the problem is when the battery is in thermal runaway, you've got to use plenty of water to overcome that. AFFF isn't going to change that. One of your bigger problems is getting the water where it needs to go on the vehicle to shut the thermal runaway down. In Europe, one practice that seems to have gotten traction, is basically a big delivered container that can be filled with water, and then they pick up the vehicle and put it in the container, which addresses the runaway and contains everything. Some reports I've gotten here in the US... is that you're talking about 12,000 gallons of water and several hours used up, trying to cope with an EV in full thermal runaway... and then, flat-bedding the thing to a wrecking yard and putting it somewhere away from everything, in case it renews its thermal runaway in hours or days after it was initially put out by the fire department. EVs are just a problem right now, and while I'm sure we'll solve the puzzle on how to deal with them... for right now, I'm NOT looking forward to dealing with em.

The ROSENBAUER Panther 4x4, in particular, is highly maneuverable, and has features that no conventional pumper can match. Instant-on 1500 gallons of light-water, foam, and dry chem, that can extinguish large difficult fires in seconds!
