The rig seats a driver, officer, and two firefighters. According to one member of the apparatus purchasing committee that spec’d the rig, it features digital gauges, electronic water valves, and a remote-control deck gun.
The new pumper also features Rosenbauer’s Green Star Idle Reduction System, which shuts the truck’s main engine down and starts a three-cylinder Kuboba diesel engine to power the rig’s HVAC system, lights, and computer system.
The fire apparatus the new pumper replaces has been decomissioned and will be declared surplus.
