Purchased from Pierce Fire in 2000, it is equipped with a 1250 gpm pump and carries 750 gallons of water, as well as 20 gallons of class A foam and 10 gallons of class B foam, both of which are available from several dischages at concentrations adjustable from 0.1 % to 6%. This apparatus is set up as a rescue pumper, and carries the 'jaws', rescue ram, cribbing, mid pressure air bags and other rescue/extrication equipment, as well as haz-mat equipment and references.
