Possibly. It was delivered Monday, currently at our shops (having their gremlins put in), and then a few days of equipment mounting before we begin training on it. So, Possibly by the 10th, but definitely it will be at the station, if not yet completely in service.

Quote:Would you happen to know the stats for this and with this going in service I assume ex Foam 345 will move to Dulles? Would you also be able to provide a up to date rundown of all the Crash Units between Dulles and National? I don't know what is where since New Crash 301 entered service awhile ago.......Thanks.

Ok, so I found some info. 2000 Pump, 3000 Tank, 420 Foam. Does anybody know what specialities this carries and how much? Dry Chem, or Halon?

I think MWAA has Purple K on its units. Normally you see 450#. Sometimes you see a unit like DC Foam 2 with 1000# of Purple K. I am not sure but I thought that one of the Dulles Legacy Strikers had 1000# but I may be mistaken. FTLAUD may be able to confirm what the new Global Striker carries vs. the other Foam units.

What are the three 'yellow things" between the driver's door and small roll-up compartment. I cropped Shoop's pic to zero in on my area of question....Thanks in advance.

Chek out the detail pics, specifically #11.
Looks like power outlets. Or charging ports.

Thanks Derry86, I think you are on to something.
Could you just imagine something like this shrunk down to a bad-ass urban company engine assault vehicle; it would strike fear into the citizenry! The motorists would be calling 9-1-1 en-mass to report they had seen an U nidentifed F irefighting O bject!!!

Foam 352, Foam 301, Foam 345 all have 1000 lb vessels of Purple-K (filled to appx 900 lbs)
All other units at MWAA have 450 lbs. Foam 302 at Dulles has 450 of Halotron in addition to its 450 of PK.
In reference to the three yellow things, they are auto-ejects for the battery charger and block heater/air compressor when the unit is in quarters. One of the three is a standard 120V outlet for the generator.
Washington Metro Airports Authority VA - stokess - 08-10-2013
Reference the three covers, 301 C-Shift told me the three were the battery charger, the block heater and the third is to feed a cab power strip to charge 110V things that are in the cab when it's in quarters. Apparently the Strikers also have them too which I confirmed through a picture of F301.
So is the third an inlet or an outlet?

Anyone have specs for Engine 301B? Thanks in advance.

You are correct on the three "inlets" for power as you describe. The legacy striker Foam 301 & the TI-3000's have generator outlets in addition to the three inlets. The new F345 does not have any such generator outlets. Had to wait to get back from vacation to actually do a double check myself!

Alex, I have a PDF of the spec drawing for E301 somewhere. When I find it I can send it to you. I have it on a thumb drive somewhere. If I don't get it to you by this weekend, remind me.

Just arrived to DCA, training underway, the new Mobile Command Post 300. This is a joint fire/police command post for both IAD & DCA, but the driver/operators for it come from the FD.
More info from Frontline's site here.
