History of the Smokey Series Combination Fire Truck
Safety Boss developed the Smokey Series Combination Fire Truck after the company found their existing trucks were inadequate during a 1982 blowout in Northern Alberta. The sour-gas blowout burned more than 400 acres of forest. It burned for more than 2 months before being capped. After that, development on the new Smokey series started in 1983.
The new Smokey series featured a number of advantages. They were the first oilfield trucks capable of shooting sustained, high capacity streams of water or foam. A new multi-tank suction manifold system, high volume discharge hose layouts, and water cannons were much more efficient than systems currently in the field.
Safety Boss can fully deploy its system within an hour of arriving at a fire. Other companies could take up to a day to set up. Endurance was another important factor. For this, Safety Boss relied on equipment supplied by trusted truck and pump companies. Therefore, the equipment proved incredibly reliable. In Kuwait, three Smokey units pumped out 40 million gallons of water without breaking down.
