Oshkosh Airport Products has delivered three Striker Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicles to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), which serves Washington Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The three Striker 6×6 vehicles are configured with advanced fire suppression and safety systems, and one is outfitted with a Snozzle High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET). They feature a 3,000-gallon water capacity, 440-gallon foam capacity, and 550 pounds of dry chemical capacity.
“We are honoured to support the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority with the delivery of these advanced Striker vehicles,” said Jack Bermingham, business unit director at Oshkosh Airport Products. “Our team is proud to provide proven, high-performance ARFF solutions that meet the demands of some of the busiest airports in the country. This delivery reflects our continued commitment to delivering innovative, mission-ready vehicles that enhance safety and preparedness for every emergency scenario.”
“These three new vehicles are a welcome addition to the Airports Authority’s fleet,” commented Assistant Chief Russell Carpenter with the Airports Authority Fire & Rescue Department. “They are an investment in the safety of passengers traveling through our airports, as well as the employees who utilise them every day. We look forward to putting the new vehicles into service after training is complete.”
