Shown above is a 1988 Oshkosh ARFF (Airport Rescue and Firefighting) truck, named Red 1, operated by Provo City Airport.
This Rescue Fire Fighting truck (ARFF) is waiting to give the first Frontier Flight a welcome under a shower of water.
The TFFT combines the superior mobility of the Oshkosh HEMTT M977 with the cutting edge fire fighting capabilities of the industry-leading Pierce fire apparatus. The result is a multi-functional vehicle that deploys in any location for aircraft rescue, fuel storage protection, structural fire fighting, wild land fire fighting and also rescue extrication on most terrains. Built on a 210-inch wheelbase, the TFFT features all-wheel drive, a Detroit Diesel 450-horsepower engine with a cruising range of 400 miles. It can wade through four feet of water and climb a 60-percent grade at full payload. Other features include a 1,000-gallon water tank, a Darley 1000-gpm fire pump and a Pierce Husky® dual-agent foam system.

The BYU football players and other athletes who make up a majority of charter flights in and out of Provo Airport are a little safer now that Provo city has invested $35,000 in an updated airport fire truck.
The lime green ARFF -- aircraft rescue and firefighting truck -- may be nearly 20 years old, but airport manager Steve Gleason said it is new enough to give the airport a big safety advantage.
"For the last several years we have used an ARFF from 1972. It took our mechanic, Dan Snyder, nothing short of witchcraft to keep it working," Gleason said.
All airports that service charter passenger flights with more than 30 people are required to carry a 139 certificate, and the airport has to have working ARFF equipment to retain the certificate.
Gleason said although he does not know an exact number of the airport's yearly charter flights, he said almost all the flights carry BYU football players, their opponents or other athletes.
The truck purchase is in line with the vision the city administration has for upgrades and
expansions to the airport, Gleason said.
"We are not really trying to recruit more charters, but we are making sure we are up to safety standards for those we do have," he said. "This is all about safety."
The new ARFF carries up to 1,500 gallons of water, compared to the 300-500 gallons on a basic firetruck. It shoots water 320 feet, and instead of long hoses, the truck shoots water from many spouts.
The main one is in the front and is controlled by electronic joysticks, said Mayor Lewis Billings.
"When people fly into this airport, they assume that we are going to do everything we can to make it safe," Billings said.
The city acquired the truck at a Salt Lake International Airport auction. Before the auction, the city offered the Salt Lake airport $50,000 for the truck. Billings said he is proud of the savings the city received when they bought the auctioned truck for $35,000.
The ARFF will be housed at the airport and manned by firefighters from the station on Geneva and Provo Center Street for 15 minutes before and after every 30-passenger plane takes off or lands and in case of emergency, Fire Chief Coy Porter said.

Yes this too is a fire truck, military style. This truck is an Oshkosh HEMTT with a fire fighting body. The funny thing is that Oshkosh is the parent company of Pierce fire trucks who where also at this show and they are also the parent company of Medtec, an ambulance company also at this show.
CONSTANTA, ROMANIA– A Rail Mounted Gantry Crane lifts a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) onto a rail car June 23 at the Port of Constanta. Once loaded, the trains will travel to Cincu, Romania where the vehicles will be off-loaded to be used in Exercise Saber Guardian/Rapid Trident. The trucks, belonging to the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (CBCT), Idaho Army National Guard and the 122th Engineer Battalion, South Carolina Army National Guard, departed Charleston, S.C. on June 5. The boat arrived in port after a two-week journey on June 19. Saber Guardian is a U.S. Army Europe-led exercise, in the spirit of partnership for peace. It is designed to promote reginal stability and security, while strengthening partnership capacity, and fostering trust while improving interoperability between Romania, the U.S. NATO and Partnership for Peace member nations.
