Hi Rob it has a small water tank and hose reel and pump it’s used for grass and wild fire in the local Eston and Cleveland hills

If my memory is correct it was a fogging unit for fell fires and replaced an argocat 8x8.

Cleveland never had an argocat they had Pinzaguer which this replaced at station 3 Grangetown

Thanks. This seems a bit of "underkill" for this model of Mog, given its cost. The Marseilles marine fire service operate dozens of these, with both a 2000 LPM "pump and roll" setup and 4000 liter water tank, plus a CAFS installation.

As such, they are a useful unit when it comes to vehicle fires and as a backup at structure fires, as well as being an essential resource when it comes to grass, brush and woodland incidents.

By the way, "Underkill" id a word I invented; the opposite of "Overkill"!

It may have been N Yorks I was thinking of. One used to appear at Teesside.
