Where will it be kept ? Will it be given to a local Department for rapid response or quartered at the training center ???

[STAT213 332]

Will it be available for any type of call needing the foam it carries, or just certain types of calls?

Connecticut actually set up their foam trailer deployment pretty well. One of the few smart purchases in terms of CT emergency preparedness.

Cool tool. According to my Haz-Mat Instructor, the state has 3 of them and is looking to add a 4th. Seems like a good addition to the DES resource pool!

Not AR-AFFF? That's what I thought they'd load, at least

Sorry, Yes it AR-AFFF 1/3

Why is a dedicated Foam Trailer needed?

Not a matter of if, it's when......

Everybody better brush up on your foam application skills.

Because 98% of the departments in the county do not have enough foam.

Do the calculations on the new ethanol blends and you find the you need 100's of gallons of concentrate.
