Unique Apparatus Brought in for UT Highway Blaze

The Utah Air National Guard Fire Department responds to a gas tanker fire in Midvale on Thursday night with a unique apparatus in this footage.

After a double tanker semi-trailer hauling 9,000 gallons of gasoline and 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel overturned on 1-15, the result was a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion -- or BLEVE.

The local fire department requested UTANG's assistance, specifically for its Oshkosh Striker 3000, a specialized Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle that can carry up to 3,000 gallons of water and 420 gallons of foam and is typically used to extinguish large aircraft fires.
