TOKYO FIRE DEPARTMENT SUPER PUMPER UNIT - UNIMOG MERCEDES BENZ (2005) 2 SETS 1-HEAVY PUMP CARRIER 2-HOSE CARRIER HYPER RESCUE 8 TACHIKAWA (8TH DISTRICT)
This pair are designed to move large volumes of water long distances across damaged streets in post-eathquake conditions, when local fireighting water mains are compromised. One has a high capacity independently-powered pump, and the other carries 2000 meters of 150MM LDH.
They are assigned to hyper rescue companies throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area, in strategic locations, and are some of a very small number of imported vehicles used by Japanese fire services. Quite simply, no-one else produces anything like a Unimog!
