These are sorely needed but amongst the fire buff community there is a lot of differing opinions on how good these are going to be...

It isn't. Most aerials are around 1 mil and people freak out about that on their taxes.. and this isn't really an aerial its a giant pumper with a boom.

Industrial fire equipment is far different though, that thing is designed to pump its own monsoon.

Airport equipment is the next level up, those things are super huge dollars.

Yeah they bought that one truck for ONE tank out here, the largest. They are also building a whole new facility to house the truck close to the tank. Basically investing 5 million on a "what if".

I'm sure they use mostly foam out here because oil + water doesnt work very well :rofl:

Yessir, foam works good. [MENTION=917]1quick[/MENTION] probably knows something about this if I recall.

Foam is the only thing that will put out oil or natural gas liquids, we purchase it for our local fire department in case there is an issue here, much too small for our own fire department, if you have a flame blasting on a large tank though water to cool the tank will help prevent a bleve
