Awesome truck and an awesome job! I would love to do that job! That would be as fun as being in the Marines only I'd get to play with bulldozers and big trucks!! Very cool! Hoorah!! Bruce
Pretty good, but I feel that military surplus chassis are the most cost-effective, though I guess you never said that this isn't. I like that the main water cannon is up high, but does it have the longest range available? in order to wet places that you cannot go? Also, the on Highway top speed limitation might make it slow or difficult to go on highway to fetch more water. It does look more cost-effective than aircraft, even military surplus aircraft. Military surplus conversion could become big business if President Warren shifts budgets from military to climate change. Firefighting is one of the best plowshares around. Tanks could regain their double meaning!
Should have forestry tires only thing id do is put forestry tires on it .i can prodict it like a rock in mud and brish youll have lot of flats i have troble in woods with regular tractor tires on powe lines in forestry you need forestry tires
They can also use many configurations of the monitors and nozzles on it to create a water curtain around it. Besides the hose reel you can also attach any number of hose lines.
Neat rig, but with the amount of fuel in the forests today, I don't know if any firefighting efforts help much. If the fuel is present, it's going to burn.
