Managua, Nicaragua ARFF truck

I took this picture during on site training in Nicaragua week of August 9th, 2010. The airport purchased two of our 6X6 crash (ARFF) trucks known as the Rosenbauer Panther. All went well with training except a Flir camera malfunction, I will be returning in the next couple weeks with a new camera. the truck has 3000 gallon water tank, 400 foam and 500 pounds of dry chemical. Detroit Diesel 8V92 with an Twin Disc trans. I accidentally soaked an airport employee with foam during training - we had only a limited area to train in and I didnt realize it was part of the trail the employees walk to work on. He came out of the wooded area the same time I hit full flow from the roof turret and, well, if he was only on fire...
