New Oshkosh Striker fire & rescue truck

On 1st September 2016, we unveiled the new 'state-of-the-art' Oshkosh Striker rescue & firefighting vehicle and gave employees the chance to see its capabilities with a demonstration at the Airport’s Fire training rig.
The high tech vehicle is capable of 0 - 50 mph in 35 seconds, carries 12,000 litres of water and can disperse this a distance of over 90 metres, emptying its tank in under 2 minutes.
It is also equipped with a High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET), which allows the Airport fire crews to carry out firefighting whilst operating the HRET inside the appliance cab, without the crews initially being within the risk area, viewing all operations through both a colour camera and a Forward Looking Infrared Camera (FLIR).
The Striker also has a unique feature with its ‘Snozzle’ that allows crews to pierce through an aircraft skin and deploy water and foam, extinguishing any internal fires.
