My departments rescue truck. Carries 750 gallons of water (2 839 liters) 35 gallons class A foam 35 gallons class B foam, everything needed for extrication (airbags, jaws, cribbing etc.) or to deal with hazard at motor vehicle accidents. 1500 GPM pump 2 pre connects(200ft and 150ft), about 1000ft of supply line and 500 ft 2 1/2 inch hose, pre piped deck gun (master stream/water cannon). It is also an ALS engine which means equipment for intubation and IVs as well as everything for BLS from band aids to backboards.


And on another note I know I would have a tough time(and by tough I mean I would probably hit everything) trying to navigate European streets in one of my departments apparatus, but I have no doubt that a Boston, or New York City operator could do it, or even the Montreal guys that cover old Montreal. Really any US or Canadian fire operator who works in an area of town that has the same layout/street size as when the city was first built could probably do it. And occasionally they have to shove cops out of the way

That is amazing lol, that looked like a bad fire how long was that building on fire for?

Now now don't say oh that would get stuck everywhere, fact is it would just run right over/through whatever was in it's way, thus making it an ideal urban ff vehicle.  Car on the corner? not anymore it isnt, it's under the wheels and being squished.  Building too close? It won't be once this is done with making the turn, it is not only a FF apparatus but an urban renewal tool.

 

This thing is just weird.

Not all American firetrucks are huge beasts. This department is isolated on their own island with very narrow streets. They actually used to have a golf-cart mini pumper. This is their support piece, and they run a min-pumper and a very small wheel base engine

The on that is my signature, It's not a urban vehicle but it is a RIV

again another great urban FF vehicle, not only can it fight fires but it can also survive most if not all small arms fire, relocate buildings, and mow down cars.  My idea of a perfect fire apparatus.

Where is that from

[MikeyPI]

It is a "marder IFV" that was reconfigured for fire fighting uses, I think it is from germany, but I'm not certain of this.

Where I live in the U.S. our downtown has cobblestone streets and are from the conloninal times and the only rigs to get into the small areas are tillers we have two tiller quints dedicated just for the downtown area
