What is the capacity of the integrated foam holding tank on FLFD apparatus?

The integrated foam holding tank on Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue apparatus is designed to hold a capacity of 30-40 gallons. This size is chosen to ensure that firefighters have an adequate supply of foam concentrate accessible for various fire suppression operations, especially when dealing with flammable liquids and hazardous materials. The capacity facilitates effective responses without frequent refilling and allows for long-duration firefighting efforts when necessary.
