St Paul Apparatus for the RNC

[rfdmn09]

Just wondering what the new "state of the art" apparatus is that CustomFire supplied to St Paul for the RNC. Any pics or good descriptions? Nothing on the Custom website.

They look like your typical St. Paul pumper, but I think they have some better Foam A and B capabilities.

According to the article on FH.Com, they also took delivery of an aerial of some sort and high capacity foam apparatus. I'm just wondering if it's something similar to an aircraft apparatus.

I believe that they are leasing the the engines from custom for a dollar a piece and the ladder truck they are leasing from Crimson. I also believe that most of these apparatus are located inside the secure zone around the xcel center. Once those vehicles are in they are not permitted to leave.

The MN Air Guard provided excelent fire protection at Holman Field (St Paul Downtown Airport) with a 70's vintage crash truck. http://picasaweb.google.com/MinnesotaNationalGuard/FirefightersAtHolmanField#
We have since recieved an Oshkosh Striker 1500.
