SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Fire Department has taken possession of a new state-of-the-art airport rescue vehicle now stationed at Salt Lake City International Airport’s Fire Station 12.
The new vehicle, two to three times larger than your average firetruck, is designed to respond to any airport aircraft crashes or rescue missions. “Basically, what this is, is just a large tank,” said Capt. Brandt Hancuff. “It's filled with 3000 gallons of water in it and then it has 400 gallons of foam, which can mix with that water to blanket the area of an aircraft that has crashed so that we can keep those fumes from igniting.”According to Hancuff, this type of airport vehicle is common at larger airports. Firefighters have to go through a special type of training to learn how to operate them.
Spencer credits the advanced digital capacities of the firetruck that allow the firefighters at Fire Station 12 to operate efficiently and safely from inside the vehicle.
