Coastal Carolina Regional Airport\u2019s Aircraft Rescue &\nFire Fighting (ARFF) crew has added a new vehicle to its growing fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On January 19th, a state-of-the-art E-ONE 4×4, 1585-gallon\nAircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle was delivered to EWN. This newest\naddition to the E-ONE fleet will allow the ARFF team to deliver a higher tier\nof safety and expertise with increased efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new truck has touch screen displays, digital readouts\nand can disperse dry chemical firefighting agent through the bumper turret using\ncontrols in the driver’s cabin. Without that new dispersal capability,\nfirefighters have to disembark and use a handline to disperse dry chemical\nagent, putting them at increased risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The E-ONE is designed and manufactured specifically to fight\naircraft fires, using a combination of water, Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF),\nand dry chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe opened our new ARFF building back in November and are so\npleased to welcome this new, state-of-the-art truck into our new facility. The\naddition of a second E-ONE vehicle makes it possible for our crew to provide\nthe highest level of safety,\u201d said Airport Operations Manager Ed Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truck was purchased through an FAA grant and will allow\nthe airport to increase its FAA ARFF Index to support larger aircraft,\nindicating the increased facilities, equipment and capabilities at the airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
