- A Pneumax Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS). This system utilizes a 200CFM compressor
and allows the pump operator to introduce a Class A or Class B foam solution along with compressed air
into an attack line with the water. This increases the knockdown capability while reducing the amount
of water used in a standard water attack. (In situations where hydrants are not close or there
is a delay in establishing a water supply, the use of CAFS can increase the knockdown capability
of Engine 11 up to 5000 gals.) Read about the foam system on the
manufacturer's web page.
- A 1250 GPM Waterous pump
- A 1000 gallon water tank
- Supplies used to control HazMat spills.
- A 6 man Spartan air conditioned cab. The cab is used to provide a climate controlled rest area
for firefighters who need relief from heat exhaustion, etc. at the scene of a fire.
Engine 11 was acquired in late 2000.
