This compact pump with its Schmitz 1-7 compressed air foam system can handle a small fire without resorting to the trailer pump, but if things are looking bad it can fill most of the roles of a full size pumper.

Seems like sensible and cost-effective solution, instead of a much larger investment in a "full size" pumper...

In concept it is not that far from the British combination in the 1950s of an Austin ATV with first aid hose reel tank and pump, towing a Dennis trailer pump, which was coincidentally rated at about 1600 LPM at 10 AT, but the equipment - especially the CAFS installation - has made a lot of progress since those far off days!
