    This is as cute as an Isuzu Kei fire truck pumper chassis micro fire truck chassis. The cute little Micro Fire engines were put into service by the Shibukawa City fire department in Japan because some alley ways were too narrow and long for normal Japanese fire trucks. They only pump 900 liters but being a first wave fire truck they buy time until more hose carts are pushed in and hose lines laid in.
