Great illustration of a modern French brush pump. Note the front winch and the roll cage complete with self defense high pressure piping and nozzles to protect the crew if the unit is threatened by a close encounter with a fast moving fire. French fire services are very well equipped to handle brush fires, and operate over 4000 brush trucks, actually outnumbering their fleet of urban pumpers.
They also make use of numerous helicopters and fixed wing air tankers, operated by their civil defense colleagues.
