The Phoenix FD has a foam-unit on a Mack MR chassis with Schwing boom.
The Refinery Terminal Fire Co. in Corpus Christi/TX has a 1995 Spartan Gladiator with National Foam body, 3000 gpm-pump, 850 gallon foam-tank, and 85' Schwing boom.
The Refinery Terminal Fire Co at the Motiva plant in Louisana has a 1998 ALF Eagle with National Foam body, 3000 gpm-pump, 850 gallon foam-tank, and 85' Schwing boom.

I believe that Refinery Terminal in Corpus Christi may actually have 2 Schwings. I think the last one built for the fire service was on a Pierce chassis about 5 years ago for a Dow Chemical plant somewhere in Alabama or Louisiana. I remember seeing it on Pierce's website as a new delivery years ago but it's no longer on the Pierce website. The Carlstadt unit was the only one built with a bucket, the others are just booms, much like a squrt or snozzle.
