Any information would be appreciated. This was from the Honor Flight bus.
Also, what is the rig that is often seen in the background as the President is walking toward the White House and answering reporter questions?
Not sure of the year of this one, but I have seen others that are 2015's. It's a KME Force 1500/1500/200F/500DC.
I'll go out on a limb here. DCFD operates a "Foam Task Force" (FTF) from the quarters of Engine 13 - Truck 10. As I recall, the FTF operates three vehicles for district-wide firefighting operations as well as VIP helicopter operations at the White House and other locations. The three vehicles include Foam Unit 1 which is an Amertek vehicle rebuilt by Emergency One and Foam Unit 2 is an Oshkosh Striker and one of two twinned agent units; the other I believe is quartered at Engine 1 at the West End. The following video shows the Foam Task Force responding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJfDSVAjB9Q
NDW foam unit 1. Naval District of Washington fire and emergency services. Cross staffed at station 1 JBAB. NDW has 3 stations in DC. Station 1, JBAB, Station 2 Navy yard, Station 3 NRL.
