This view shows the FRONT of Quint 51 and Quint 52.
Visable are the tips of the booms and their 1200 Gallon per Minute Nozzles.
There are also two 750 watt floodlights on the tip which can be activated
as the rig approaches a night scene..asuring a safe and visable scene!
The front also show the "infamous" Roto-Ray Warning lights and the
FAMOUS "Go Mason Comets!!! Green Strobe Light!!!!
Also in the front of each rig are the CLASS B TaskForce Tip ProPak
Foam Unit. This very cost effective foam device will allow us to deliver
Class B foam (for flammable liquid situations).....
Don't confuse this with the built-in CLASS A Foam System which is
used for fighting ordinary combustable fires such as a house or structural fire!
