Greater Paris does not have any extensive wildland fire risks, but nine of their 72 stations are equipped with one of these 4X4 pump tankers. They are less off-road capable than a typical French CCFF, but an improvement on the PST which they have replaced. The PST were rear wheel drive light pumpers with oversized water tanks, designed primarily to cope with structure fires in interface zones without hydrants.
As the metro Paris area grows, it seems likely BSPP will probably add more of these CCR specification pumpers.
