At last the time has come to get out and test the ARFF's fire extinguishing capabilities. I have already upload some video to my YouTube channel so you can see the first fire tests.
The boom has now been completed as well as the hose reel behind it on the top of the engine.
I also have a emergency light which can be raised and lowered on a sort of telescopic boom.
Mirror covers have been added as well as a new lower hose nozzle and top hose nozzle assembly.
New light added at the front on the top hose system.
I have had to add another reciever so we are now up to three with all 24ch being used.
Mini linear actuatro used to raise and lower the boom,
New 4WD tensioner added, we will see if it works.
So what is next. The aim is to get it out to events across the UK and try and raise some money for charity. I also want to setup some photo shoots with the model next to the real thing.
There are still loads more Fire test videos to come. What size fire can this unit put out?
