Foam 426 was never designed to be driven on the long road trips it would make monthly to the Fire & Rescue Academy (FRA) for the monthly hazmat drills or the trips to BWI and elsewhere for flammable liquids training exercises. It's my understanding most of the bigger ARFF rigs are designed for a short sprint at the airport to the crash site on the airport proper or not too far away. They are not designed for long, over the road trips that this unit frequently made (3 shifts = 3 round trips to the FRA) for the monthly hazmat drills. It had to be taken to the FRA with the crew from FS26 in case there was a call where it was needed. It did make a few mutual aid responses into the District of Columbia for the tire warehouse fire and a few helicopter standby's at the Naval Observatory.
