This is no longer based at Station 10 and I have not been able to track down its license plate number.

It may have been sold to another administrative area, in which case it would have been re-registered. As a special purpose rig, it would not have a DIN specification, so except for it being a dry powder and foam combo anything more would be guesswork…

I think its replacement was a "sonderloeschmittel" AB container, to be transported on one of the city's WLF transporters.

These are fairly common in larger German cities, as special extinguishing media are not very often needed and often do not justify having a dedicated tender.

Yes it left Station 10 Riem in 2021, this picture was taken in Munich's central district, which is very far from FS10 located at the old airport grounds. It was replaced by a SLF Iturri Volvo FMX

The new Volvo is based at station 4. It is a 26 ton 6x2 with a rear steering axle. The 469 HP engine powers a 3,000 LPM pump with CAFS. On board are a 4,000 litre water tank, 500 liter foam tank, two 250 KG powder containers and two CO2 cylinders. This upgrades the capacities of M2094, and is an addition to the special extinguisher pod which is also on the city’s equipment roster. I am not sure but I believe this may be the first Volvo in Munich; they are not really very popular with German fire services.

picture 43366 depicts an industrial unit very similar to the Volvo which replaced the tender in this photo.
