The US Army in Afghanistan has received 25 additional Assault Force 70 fire-rescue rough terrain vehicles (FRRTV) from EJ Metals.

EJ Metals president Kevin Quinn said high-pressure foam systems were at the leading edge of today’s firefighting technology.
“The Assault Force 70 is ideally suited for rough terrain and environments where water supply is limited, which makes it an excellent fit for the US military’s demanding requirements,” he said.
“Our patented triple-discharge water / foam nozzle allows soldiers to change spray patterns instantly for changing fire conditions, enhancing the effectiveness of our high-pressure foam system.”
