Recently our department was added a small fuel refinery. Which of course added some new problems for a volunteer fire department. The refinery has stated they would help pay for most of our new equipment to help protect it: high angle rescue, new pumper and training, and foam; but our problem is we know the type of rescue equipment we need, but the new truck is kinda up in the air.... My self and a few others have knocked the idea of maybe an ARFF truck with a 2000 + gpm pump water is not a problem at this location less than 1/4 a mile from a river. So thats why I thought maybe looking at an older arff or refurbed truck for some reasons: the pump, the truck mounted nozzles, big enough to hold all of the necessary gear for the location. We are the only location for 100+ miles in any direction with a refinery like this. As always any input would be greatly appreciated
