The
City of Nogales, located on the Arizona and Mexican
border, protects a major trade route from the United
States into Mexico via Interstate 19. Due to the transportation
of hazardous materials into and out of the region,
the Nogales Fire Department purchased a Hackney DFC1082
HazMat truck to transport their emergency response
equipment. The 19.5-ft body is mounted on a Spartan
Gladiator MFD custom cab/chassis and is powered by
a Detroit 430 hp, Series 60 Detroit engine.
The Hackney drop/pinch frame technology was selected
as a necessity to increase the storage capacity with
a minimal wheelbase length. One of the compartment
features a slide-out SCBA rack that accommodate eight
complete SCBA's with "back-up and go" donning ability.
There are also twelve spare SCBA bottles stored in
individual storage tubes. Generator power is provided
by a 25kw PTO generator protected inside the left
front compartment. It powers a KL450 Command Light
tower, refrigerator/freezer and numerous strategically
placed outlets.
