Large numbers of 8000 liter urban water tenders were originally issued to fire brigades by the Belgian government many years ago, to assure adequate water supplies for firefighting in communities with limited hydrant networks. They were not intended for forest or brush firefighting.
The original units were on Renault or Austrian Steyr 19 ton chassis, but - as illustrated here - these have now been replaced.
Some towns have bought a variety of even higher capacity three and four axle tankers, instead of straight replacements like this 18 ton Actros.
