New ARFF for O’Hare Airport

From Oshkosh ARFF  Facebook:

The fleet at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) received an upgrade with a new #Striker 8×8 ARFF vehicle! Part of a twin order, this massive truck holds 4,500 gallons of water, 630 gallons of foam, and 550 pounds of dry chemical agent.
Other features on this Striker ARFF include:
  • Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging camera for identifying hot spots in and around the aircraft
  • Dual #Scania DC16 V8 Tier 4F engines
  •  #TAK4 Independent Suspension for unmatched stability and maneuverability
  • 360-degree camera for enhanced awareness and visibility all around the truck

Standby at O’Hare Airport, 1-7-20

This from Dan McInerney:

United Airlines (B772, N782UA, ORD-NRT) 1/7/20
This UA 772 made it to northern WI before turning around to come back with engine trouble. The Chicago Fire Department responded with a full ARFF assignment and escorted the plane back to the gate. As the plane turns you can see they had to shut the #2 engine down as evidenced by the lack of exhaust blur. Seen in the pictures is only a small part of the ARFF response; the Chicago Fire Department has the largest contingent of staffed ARFF vehicles and personnel of any airport in the world.

As seen around … O’Hare

This from Nick Nezri:

On 11-14-15, I was privileged to be able to go on an airfield tour of O’Hare Airport, which was set up by the ORD Airport Watch planespotting group. Lucky for me, nearly all of the ORD based CFD companies were conducting training at rescue station one, so our tour added a stop. I was able to photograph a variety of the rigs, and was even given the opportunity to go inside 6-5-8. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone at the CFD for welcoming us to their station with no advance notice, moving the rigs for better photos, displaying their equipment, and answering all of our members questions! It was really appreciated!
