They also feature a 4,500-gallon (17,034-liter) water tank, a 630-gallon (2,384-liter) foam tank and 550 pounds (249 kilograms) of dry chemical, providing substantial firefighting capacity.

“Oshkosh has maintained a high standardization level between models, which provides familiarization from truck to truck and minimal training on the differences,” said Michael J. Beeley, Deputy Chief, Planning, of Boston Logan and other Massachusetts-area airports.

Additional highlights include:

  • Low attack bumper turret (625/1,250 gpm) and roof turret (625/1,250 gpm)

  • FLIR M-Series camera, rear and forward video and digital recording capabilities for enhanced situational awareness
  • Advanced lighting package featuring perimeter and warning lights, rigid worklights and reflective diamond-grade chevrons for maximum visibility 

“Boston Logan continues to invest in world-class ARFF capabilities, and the Striker 8x8 represents a high standard in performance and reliability,” said Brian Snodgrass, Regional Sales Manager, Oshkosh Airport Products. “The performance and technology built into these vehicles give first responders tools to protect passengers, crews and critical infrastructure.”

Boston Logan International Airport is located approximately three miles northeast of downtown Boston and covers over 2,300 acres. The new Striker 8x8 vehicles will be fully integrated into the airport’s emergency response protocols with continued support from Oshkosh Airport Products’ training and technical teams.
