New vehicle in firefighting arsenal

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Members of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center’s Readiness Directorate conducted several simulated aircraft rescue firefighting tests of the new P-34 Rapid Intervention Vehicle Aug. 21, 2013 at the Silver Flag exercise site here. The P-34 RIV is the first crash response truck in the Air Force to use ultra-high pressure firefighting technology. KME Kovatch of Nesquehoning, Pa., won the contract to build 148 RIVs for the Air Force. The KME version offers some new features including both Class-A and Class-B firefighting foam capability and a redesigned UHP turret. The Air Force has a requirement for 238 RIVs. The previous 90 vehicles were built by Pierce Manufacturing in Bradenton, Fla. (U.S. Air Force photo/Eddie Green)
