    Fire Capt. Scott McGonigal, Letterkenny Army Depot, and Firefighter Brandon Staley, LEAD, pose next to one of the three engines transitioned to the updated military specifications for land and maritime firefighting agent, fluorine-free foam at Letterkenny Army Depot Dec. 19, 2023.

    In line with the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020, which prohibits the use of fluorinated aqueous film-forming foam at any military installation after Oct. 1, 2024, LEAD Fire and Emergency Services transitioned all three of their engines to the updated military specifications for land and maritime firefighting agent, fluorine-free foam.

    Under the direction of Fire Chief Dave McGlynn and the supervision of Fire Capt. Scott McGonigal, the LEAD Fire and Emergency Services team successfully transitioned Engine 13-1 with a 50-gallon capacity, and Engines 13-2 and 13-3 with 30-gallon capacities each, Dec. 12 – 13, 2023.
