AR-2


This is the type of truck that Rhett drives on the Airport. There are some differences in his truck. The truck that Rhett operates has an articulating boom on the top of it with a piercing nozzle and fog nozzle on it. The truck that Rhett drives is AR-2 and is scheduled to be replaced in the next year. The articulating boom can flow 750 gallons per minute and the turret nozzle on the front bumper can flow 350 gpm's. The truck carries 1500 gallons of water and enough foam for 3000 gallons of water. The truck also carries Purple K which is a dry chemical used for certain fires where water or foam won't be as effective. The truck is 6 wheel drive. and is built to scale an 18 inch wall.
