Calfire has already achieved this with their type 3 engines. Good 4x4 and ground clearance. They all are equipped for pump and roll, foam and excel in wildfire fighting. They also have scba and structural equipment. Additionally, most if not all type 3 cal Fire engines also have battery extrication equipment, vent and tree chainsaws and a circ saw, pole saw, sawzall, and gas porta pump. They also have rope rescue equipment and als equipment. Very capable rigs. They have ample room for crew equipment on deployments and are comfortable in the vab. They have booster lines pre connects etc.
@@donaldraver I was thinking the same. With what I’m used to, a type 1 and type 3 both have als equipment, ladders, scba, chainsaws, circ saws, extrication equipment, ample hose (type 3 have more 1.5, type 1 have 5 inch and more 1.75) and a lot of misc tools. Rope gear is a must for our type 3s and our type 1s have fans, generators trash pumps etc and our type 3 has a pole saw and gas pump. I am in California.
Don't see many departments purchasing these for wildland fire, it is made of plastic and sometimes you have to up close and personal depending on the terrain. For 4X4 Mini-pumper there seems it will be light on the equipment out load to begin with.
@@skreefgeore6983 I see you mentioned Wasilla, duh! I recall the conference I went to in Sitka, back in the 80s. What department are you with? Good luck to you and stay Safe!!
Just a mini-pumper on steroids, only problem is picking what job any fire department would choose for it main mission. Not quite enough storage to be outfitted to both. Just saying.
everyone knows poly body means plastic right, and plastic comes from oil. so why would we use somethign that burns like gasoline as the primary component on a fire truck?

CalFire has a great system for sure!
@@HeroesNextDoor you should feature them
We see that a lot nowadays. The concept of multifunctional.
There is just no money for specific equipment.
Nice looking truck, just seems like it's light on cabinets? IDK
Not to be negative but calling it a Type1/3, I didn't see ladders or a monitor or all your structural and wildland gear
This was a demo that’s why there was no gear on it

they brought on up to the alaska fire conference earlier this month in Wasilla, it was super cool to see! wish we could get one
Where was your conference this year? I used to attend years ago(20+)!!
@@trob0914 It was in Wasilla in the Mat-Su Valley, and next year it'll be in Sitka

very nice truck
Didn’t see a handrail near that step, maybe I missed it. But I think that would almost deem essential when having a “step” on a rig.
Brush truck on steroids!
WUI truck wooohoo

if the fire gets hot enough to melt plastic you shouldn't be there
