The Amenia Fire District No.1 in New York has recently taking delivery of a new Darley AutoCAFS pumper built on an all-wheel drive Spartan 4-door chassis. It has a 450 horsepower Cummins ISL 9 engine and an Allison 3000 EVS transmission. The Allison 3000 EVS transmission powers two PTOs.- one for the Darley PSP 1,500 GPM PTO-driven fire pump while the other spins the 200 CFM PTO-driven rotary screw air compressor for the Darley AutoCAFS package. The Compressed Air Foam System is piped to supply water, foam solution, CAFS, or even plain compressed air to four discharges including the front and middle 1-1/2-inch crosslays, a rear 2-1/2-inch crosslay, and the deck gun. ROM roll-up doors and aluminum diamond plate garnish the Copolymer “PolyBilt” body. The ladders and pike poles are stored in a slide in rear compartment. The integrated Copolymer water tank holds 1,030 gallons of water and 30 gallons of Class A foam in its integral foam tank. There are numerous slide out trays and adjustable shelves in the compartments along with slide out Poly tool boards. A Will-Burt Night Scan telescoping light is mounted on top of the vehicle in a pocket at the front of the hosebed for providing overhead scene illumination. Even more light is provided with the rear dual telescoping FRC Evolution LED lights that are provided on the back of the body.
