At the world’s busiest airports and on military airfields across the globe, Oshkosh® Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles set the standard for performance, reliability, and rapid response.
Engineered for extreme conditions, Oshkosh ARFF apparatus deliver exceptional acceleration, advanced pump and agent systems, and superior off-road capability ensuring crews can reach an incident quickly and operate with confidence. From structural integrity and chassis strength to high-flow water, foam, and dry chemical capabilities, every component is designed with firefighter safety and mission readiness in mind.
With industry-leading visibility, ergonomic cab design, and integrated technology systems, Oshkosh ARFF vehicles help crews respond decisively in the most demanding aviation environments.
When the call comes from the runway, trust the apparatus built to answer it.
The Oshkosh Striker® 4×4 is purpose-built for rapid response in demanding airfield environments, combining speed, maneuverability, and firefighting capability in a compact, highly agile platform. Designed to meet and exceed NFPA 414 and FAA requirements, the 4×4 configuration delivers fast acceleration and a tight turning radius, allowing crews to navigate runways, taxiways, and off-road terrain with confidence. A low center of gravity, wide track, and TAK-4® independent suspension system provide enhanced stability and control, helping operators respond quickly while maintaining safe, predictable handling.
Inside the cab, visibility and operator awareness are a priority, with expansive glass, a 254-degree viewing plane, and available 360° camera systems to improve situational awareness on the airfield. The Striker 4×4 is equipped with advanced fire suppression capabilities, including high-capacity water, foam, and dry chemical systems, along with true pump-and-roll functionality for continuous agent application during movement. With approximately 1,500 gallons of water capacity and configurable foam and agent systems, the Striker 4×4 delivers a balanced combination of mobility and firefighting power, making it a dependable solution for airports requiring fast, effective response in a versatile package.
The Oshkosh Striker® 6×6 is built to deliver a balanced combination of speed, agent capacity, and performance for demanding airfield environments. Positioned between the agility of a 4×4 and the maximum capacity of an 8×8, the 6×6 configuration provides increased water and foam capacity while maintaining strong acceleration and maneuverability. With approximately 3,000 gallons of water and 420 gallons of foam, the Striker 6×6 is designed to support sustained firefighting operations while still meeting critical response time requirements.
Engineered for control and operator confidence, the Striker 6×6 features a low center of gravity, TAK-4® independent suspension, and available rear steer to improve handling across runways and uneven terrain. Inside the cab, enhanced visibility is a priority, with a center-steer driving position, expansive glass, and a 254-degree field of view, supported by available 360° camera systems for increased situational awareness. Advanced fire suppression systems, including high-reach extendable turret (HRET) options and true pump-and-roll capability, allow crews to apply agents continuously while in motion, delivering the performance, control, and reliability required for modern ARFF operations.
The Oshkosh Striker® 8×8 is the highest-capacity and most powerful configuration in the Striker ARFF lineup, built for large airports and high-demand aviation environments where maximum agent delivery and performance are critical. With approximately 4,500 gallons of water, 630 gallons of foam, and additional dry chemical capabilities, the 8×8 is designed to support sustained firefighting operations on large-scale incidents. Its multi-axle design and all-wheel-drive system provide the traction and stability needed to operate across runways, taxiways, and off-road terrain, while maintaining strong acceleration to meet strict response time requirements.
Engineered for both performance and control, the Striker 8×8 features a low center of gravity, TAK-4® independent suspension, and advanced safety systems like electronic stability control to enhance handling and operator confidence. Inside the cab, a center-steer driving position, expansive glass with a 254-degree field of view, and available 360° camera systems provide exceptional visibility and situational awareness on the airfield. With advanced fire suppression options, including high-reach extendable turret (HRET) configurations and true pump-and-roll capability, the Striker 8×8 delivers unmatched reach, capacity, and reliability for the most demanding ARFF operations.”
The Oshkosh Striker® Volterra® Electric ARFF represents the next generation of aircraft rescue and firefighting, combining proven Striker performance with advanced electric vehicle technology. Built to seamlessly integrate mechanical and battery power, the Volterra platform delivers rapid acceleration, strong pumping capability, and reduced emissions without changing how crews operate. In fact, its operation mirrors traditional Striker models, allowing departments to adopt electric technology without additional training or disruption to existing workflows.
At the core of the Volterra is a patented electro-mechanical drivetrain that enables full-electric driving and pumping, while an integrated internal combustion engine ensures continuous, uninterrupted performance when needed. With features like zero-emissions drive mode for station entry and exit, extended battery-powered standby operation, and up to 75% reduction in fuel consumption, the platform is designed to improve firefighter safety, lower operating costs, and support long-term sustainability goals. Configurations include high-capacity water and foam systems, advanced suppression tools like Snozzle® HRET, and the same visibility, control, and serviceability expected from the Striker lineup, delivering a future-ready solution without compromising performance.”
General Oshkosh ARFFs – Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles are purpose-built for one mission, rapid response in high-risk aviation environments. Designed to operate on runways, taxiways, and off-road terrain, Oshkosh ARFF trucks deliver the acceleration, maneuverability, and agent capacity required to meet strict response time standards. With a low center of gravity, tight turning radius, and high-speed performance, these apparatuses are engineered to reach incidents quickly while maintaining control and stability across complex airfield conditions.
Built around the Oshkosh Striker® platform, ARFF vehicles integrate advanced fire suppression systems, high-capacity water and foam delivery, and specialized features like high reach extendable turrets (HRET) for targeting aircraft fires in hard-to-reach areas. With enhanced cab visibility, pump-and-roll capability, and configurations ranging from 4×4 to 8×8, these trucks are designed to support fast, effective fire attack while improving operator awareness and long-term serviceability. The result is a mission-driven apparatus that delivers the speed, power, and reliability required to protect lives and critical infrastructure on the airfield.”
