Standard Berlin "city" compact rescue pump, operated by the first brigade anywhere in the World to start using combined rescue truck and pumper units in 1983.

Berlin now has one or more at each of their 35 full time and 54 volunteer stations. This MAN is designed for volunteer use, and is smaller than the LHF 20/16. It has a 224 HP engine, 10 ton GVW, 1600 LPM pump with both class B airfoam and class A CAFS, as well as a 1200 liter tank and a full suite of hydraulic rescue gear. It also includes comprehensive fire fighting equipment, hoses and ladders. It accommodates a six person crew.

Originally rescue pumpers were positioned only at full time stations, but their usefulness over a number of years led to these less elaborate units being developed for inclusion at all of the volunteer stations too....
