The crash truck at Payne field once operated F-26, a 1977 Consodyn Fire X with 1500/3000/300/500# PK dry chem., an ex Spokane Wa. rig.

Payne Field ran this big Darley built apparatus as Engine -26. The engine was built in 1992 on a Spartan Gladiator chassis and had a 1750 pump, 1000 gallons of water and 100 gallons of foam concentrate.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the hose wagons have 300 gallon foam tanks and carry no water. The only time I've seen one in use was at a gigantic marina fire in 2002. They're the last KWs still in use by the SFD.

I finally have the offical stats on the two Seattle large diameter hose wagons. Thanks to Rich Schneider for compiling and sharing.

Nearly three months ago, there was a request for photos of the new engine in Burien, WA. I drove up there yesterday morning and saw it out. It is a Pierce Arrow XT, job # 23472. It has a 515hp DDEC engine, 2000gpm pump, and 500gal water tank. It also has a Husky 12 foam system per the dealer's website. Here are a few photos.
