E-ONE designed and manufactured the ARFF fire apparatus that includes: 

  • E-ONE all-wheel-drive chassis with pump and roll.
  • E-ONE extruded aluminum roll cage designed cab.
  • Cummins QSX 15 engine rated at 665 hp.
  • Hale Model RME 2,400-gpm water pump.

Vinnell Arabia was awarded a contract to set up, supply, and maintain the fire service for the newly formed Saudi Ministry of National Guard Aviation Wing, operating rotary wing aircraft. Vinnell Arabia is part of the Northrop Grumman Group with more than 1,250 employees and the leader in U.S. military doctrine-based training, logistics, and support services in Saudi Arabia. Working strictly to current NFPA Standards, Vinnell Arabia selected E-ONE as a first choice manufacturer. This decision was enhanced by the dedicated close service support capability of its E-ONE Dealer, SESE: Saudi Establishment for Safety Equipment.

The chosen E-ONE Titan Force™ 6X6 was carefully selected based on its proven ability to meet the harsh conditions of the climate and tough terrain, to exceed the necessary firefighting and rescue performance criteria, and to cater for the potential expansion needs of the National Guard aviation services.
