Fire Truck Center carries specialty fire apparatus, including dry chemical and CAFS foam units, for hazards water alone can’t handle — each 150-point inspected, and most backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What is a CAFS truck

CAFS stands for Compressed Air Foam System. It mixes water, foam concentrate, and compressed air to produce a durable foam that coats and cools fuel far better than plain water. That stretches a limited water supply and improves knockdown, which is why CAFS is popular on brush and structural apparatus.

Specialty apparatus we carry

  • CAFS / foam — Compressed Air Foam System units for more efficient knockdown and extended water supply.
  • Dry chemical — powder-agent apparatus for flammable-liquid and energized fires at fuel and industrial sites.
  • Custom foam builds — we build brush trucks with CAFS and foam systems on Ford, Ram, or Chevy chassis.
