On Thursday morning, a new crash truck was delivered to Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The 2016 Oshkosh Striker 3000, 2000\/3200\/420\/450#\/460# plus Snozzle is first new ARFF rig since 2000, and the first lime apparatus in a quarter century.<\/p>\n

The truck was purchased with 85% of funding from federal and state sources, and thus the safety yellow color. Which is a requirement of the program. Designated CFR 4, it will replace a 2000 Oshkosh T-3000, 1950\/3000\/420\/450#. The airport is evaluating retaining the older truck as a reserve rig.<\/p>\n
