Cool! This unit has been talked about for a long time and delayed. I wonder if this is the one built by Seagrave?

I think its a International X635.

Yes, the chasis is obvious to an enthusiast like me.

I'm talking about who built the body.

Sorry I missed you, Anesti. I was there with my girlfriends son.

Wow, sharp rig. Any idea how many it can decon in an hour? What company is responsible for the rig?

Dont worry we didnt stay long, like you said in you other post a disappointment. Gonna get down earlier next year. Spent the remaining day in the city.

Nice rig. Previously, I think they only had a few Decon. trailers spread out throughout the city. I want to say about five or six, but I'm not sure. I do know that the airport did have one stationed there though.

Don't quote me but it looks alot like some of the decon units made for the MABAS in the Chicago area. THose units were built by Modec out of Henderson, Colorado.

You are right. I googled the company and found this press release.

Seagrave built an MCI unit for PFD.
