^that looks ALOT like a Spartan Gladiator/Ferra HD.

This is 1 Quint 9 2009 Spartan Gladiator/Ferrara HD-77ft Quint - 1500gpm/400gal which is about a mile down the road from me. IMO its one of the only good looking trucks EFD uses.

1 Recue 1 1997 Ford/Ferrara walk-in Heavy Rescue. This one of two rescue squads in Evansville, and one of 3 trucks I am aware of that carries excitation tools out of about 15 trucks in the city. 1 Quint 9 is the only non rescue truck I know of that carries extrication tools.

Do you know how it works?

The powder is a potassium based compound. It is safe and non-toxic. It is, however, an irritant - much like accidentally breathing flour dust would be. Any time firefighters are involved with fires and Fire Interruption Technology, demonstration or otherwise, they recommend you wear your SCBA.
