imagine dying to a fire in mcdonalds of all places, also seems a bit overkill for a mcdonalds fire? MERVs and ladders, and whatever. from how it looks, it wasnt that bad (didnt do any research btw)
No. Its actually cross manned by Eng 260. The Super Pumper is at Eng 238s firehouse because 260s bay floors wont support it. So Eng 238s foam unit is at 260 and the super pumper is at 238 for the time being. Eventually itll go to 260 permanently.
It's actually part of the foam task force and part of hazmat. It's basic purpose is for the refinery, airports fuel farms etc. It carries 1000 gallons of foam concentrate. It can be special called for just about anything if needed.
Its not attached to shore air and the truck needs to build pressure from essentially 0 to 60psi in order to actuate the brakes which takes a minute or two. But im sure you all knew that.
Two part question, what is the pouch the FF's are carrying on the right side? I know it's probably not but it kind of reminds me of an Ipad holder similar to what I've seen EMS carry. Also, how often does this unit get called into service?
Its part of the foam task force. It can also be special called as needed. A guess would put it around 2 dozen times a year. It has a few other special boxes its assigned to also, like the 2 airport crash boxes.
