I did a search of this thread & came up with a 1999 E\-One Titan ARFF rig. Not sure of the pump/tank size.

You do know that the abbreviation VA. at the end of Fairfax County means Virginia,right? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> So maybe you need to stay out of the VA. threads until YOU learn the area!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Great photos...A lot of diversity in just one county.



Question about the Rescues that are designated Haz-Mat squads. What special Haz-Mat equipment do they carry? Are they geared towards full haz-mat response (size-up, CPC, mitigation, decon, etc) or are they more for rescue / decon from CBRNE incidents? Thanks.

[Guest]

b9208 my friend, I will defer to some of the more knowledgeable county guys like Sr Fire Official or Splinterhead to answer your question both thoroughly and accurately.



Thanks,

Nate

Thanks Nate - I think I have OCD when it comes to rescues - I always want to know how they're set up and laid out...And from what I've seen and read, Fairfax has some real nice rigs.



One other question...Does Fairfax County FD have certain specific requirements that the volunteer companies have to follow when spec'ing a new rig? I remember reading that PG County does...

Thanks,

Gary

1. Volunteer purchased apparatus must meet the county minimum spec and be approved by the Apparatus Section.

2. There are 4 hazmat rescue companies that operate as satellites to the main Hazmat and Hazmat Support unit and each of those rescue companies are staffed with 4 hazmat qualified personnel. Rescue 1, 11, 19 and 26 are the HM rescues and carry a limited amount of protective clothing above structural firefighting gear, some leak and spill control equipment and atmospheric monitoring devices. Typical hazmat response is two engine companies, the closest hazmat rescue company, the hazmat unit and hazmat support unit, an ALS transport unit, BC, EMS supevisor and safety officer.

3. There are 4 technical rescue companies: 14, 18, 21 and 39 staffed with 4 tech rescue personnel each. Stations 14 and 21 have the "cave-in" trailers and tow vehicles which carry the pneumatic shores, dewatering pumps and support gear for trench rescue and other collapse operations. FS18 has the Technical Rescue Support Unit which has pavement breakers and other heavy tools on it. I don't get out to the 1st Battalion much anymore so I can't honestly say what Rescue 39 has extra.

Thanks Sr!

439 just got the tunnel unit, basically a box truck set up to support/put back together the 20 or so BioPacks it carries.
