| Description | 330-PS-3012 (USN 708720): New Navy Jeep Fire Engine. Featuring a self-contained fire-extinguishing system capable of delivering 1,300 gallons of fire-killing foam per minute for more than two minutes without refilling, the new jeep fire engine was demonstrated at the Naval Research Laboratory. Designed and built by the Laboratory primarily for use in fighting aircraft fires aboard large aircraft carriers, the new equipment required no other power supply than the 60H.P. jeep engine. Capable of spreading a protective cone of foam 30 feet in diameter, it can reach a crashed plane up to 90 feet away. The raw materials for making the foam are carried in small tanks on the jeep. The system can be put in operation simply by opening two valves and speeding up the jeep engine. Requiring only a two-man team, anyone who can drive a jeep and pull a knob can operate it. Designed to supplement the larger-capacity piped foam system aboard aircraft carriers, the jeep fire engine in simulated crash-fire tests, covering 600 square feet and using 150 gallons of gasoline, “rescues” have been made within 24 seconds after it went into action.
