New Zealand Mitsubishi - WM6773

Another view of the Hororata FG635 Mitsubishi. Following a ruling by the NZ Fire Service that these appliances be removed from front line service combined with a new station saw this appliance withdrawn from Hororata and it is currently awaiting reallocation.

These are very popular in Australia and New Zealand with those fire services which provide both structural and wildland fire protection in smaller communities. And they are also of course one of the more commonplace pumper chassis in Japan and many other far eastern countries.

It has recently been suggested on this site that similar 4X4 Japanese chassis may be ideal for rural and small town fire services in the UK, due to their smaller dimensions and fairly decent off-road capabilities.
