The aircraft fire/rescue trucks are used at Naval Air Stations for combating aircraft fires and rescue of aircraftcrews, and range in size from a small 11,000 pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) pickup with utility body and twin agent fire fighting unit to the 68,000 pound GVWR crashtruck which carries 3,000 gallons of water and 200 gallons of AFFF (foam). The structural/brush fire trucks are used at Naval activities in the same manner as municipal fire trucks infighting structural and grass fires. The Navy's investment in ships, aircraft, facilities, and equipment mandates having adequate fire protection. The requested funds are needed to comply with findings identified in the DoDIG Report: D-2003-121 DoD Fire and Emergency Services Program. Numerous structural pumpers do not meet current NFPA standards for enclosed cab assemblies, crash response trucksdo not meet roll safety criteria, and several ladder trucks are beyond safe working limits. A large number of crash response trucks are overage and no longer parts supportable and mustbe replaced. The ability to save lives and protect property is essential in supporting the Navy's mission. The role of these trucks is to provide fire supression, public safety, and forceprotection roles including first responder to terrorism incidents, and weapons of mass destruction.The requested FY 2006 funds provide for replacement of 23 aircraft fire/rescue trucks and 24 structural/brush fire trucks and will result in a projected inventory where 302 or 51.2% wilbe within economic replacement criteria.The requested FY 2007 funds provide for replacement of 22 aircraft fire/rescue trucks and 31 structural/brush fire trucks and will result in a projected inventory where 289 or 49% will bewithin economic replacement criteria.Funding allocated for the procurement of reserve equipment is displayed on the P-5R.
