 On Saturday, July 12, 2003, Paine Field Fire crews responded with their Foam Unit to a fuel tanker fire on I-5. This unit is a 1988 Oshkosh with 3,000 gallons of water and 410 gallons of 3% AFFF. The unit was acquired from the Port of Seattle Fire Department in 2001. With the aid of this unit, and in conjunction with other area emergency responders, the tanker fire was extinguished and disaster averted. A recap of Paine Field Fire Department's mutual aid response to this event is available here. |
