USA-Canada Trip 2013 - kieferfire - 10-19-2013
Here are the four remaining photos from my Northwest-trip.
I made arrangements in advance for visiting the Portland International Airport FD. Unfortunately, as you see, the weather was not cooperating.
Truck 815 is a 2005 Oshkosh Striker 1500. It has a 1950 gpm-pump and carries 1500 gallons of water, 210 gallons of foam, and 500 # of dry chemicals.

Truck 816 is this 2001 Rosenbauer Panther. It has a 2000 gpm-pump and carries 3000 gallons of water, 360 gallons of foam, and 500 # of Halon. It will be replaced in 2014 with a Striker 3000.

Anyone know how in the world they get enough air to flow to keep this rig from over heating. I know older apparatus were designed to not have a grille but this chasis was not.
I believe that western states use to modify everything and run it out of the top to get the proper air flow. If it has a smaller engine it would be a big deal. big block is a different story. The new dash CF doesn't need a grille to have proper airflow today so i am sure they had something figured out. Western states usually built a durable truck
