DCFD Foam Wagons: Due to Executive Branch Protection requirements, since Helecopters came into vogue in the 1950's, the DCFD has been providing stand by Fire Protection at various locations for this purpose. Vehicles used for this purpose over the past 45 (roughly) years have been a combination of U.S. Navy, Government Surplus and Direct Purchase vehicles. Presently two types are used, Twin Agent Units and Foam Wagons, to use DCFD terms. The P-19 (Amertek) is the property of the US Navy, not the DCFD, hence the Lime Yellow color. The present E\-One Foam Wagon is a rebuild of the DCFD purchased Amertek as an add on to the US Navy contract to replace a 1969 Ford F/ National Foam 750/500/100 Foam Wagon.
Twin Agent Units have been supplied since the mid 1960's with a total of 8 having served over the years, 1 new from the Navy, 3 surplus military rigs and 3 purchased by the DCFD. Presently these details are handled by Personnel assigned to Stations near the White House that have undergone FAA ARFF certification programs. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Captain.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
