Airport Rescue

The Airport Rescue is a Hot Wheels Original Model based upon the Oshkosh P-15 ARFF Crash Truck (with the "ARFF" standing for "Airport Rescue Fire Fighting"). This airport firefighting beast is a 65 ton (130,000 pounds), 8x8 vehicle that was first fielded in 1977. It carries 6,100 gallons (23,100 L) of water and 515 gallons (1,950 L) of foam, designed for all-weather operation at airfields for fire suppression. Two 1,250 gpm (4,700 L/min) pumps and two 1,200 gpm (4,500 L/min) turrets delivered the water and foam. The Oshkosh P-15 ARFF is powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V92F V-8 engine mated to an Allison 750DRD 5-speed transmission. The huge P-15 weighed 59,000 kg (130,860 lbs), with dimensions: length 13.8 m (45.2 ft), width 3.1 m (10.0 ft), and height 4.2 m (13.8 ft). The Oshkosh P-15 was featured in the 1987 Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most powerful fire engine (of the time period).
