These are the most powerful pumps in the BSPP fleet, and are usually accompanied by the CA tender as illustrated on this site. These carry 2000 metres of 110 mm LDH and two 1000 litre containers of class B foam compound, with inductors, branches and hose fittings. This combination is very versatile, and is often deployed to relatively water from high capacity hydrants and/or to handle large industrial fire incidents. I am not sure about crewing, but in recent years the FA used to have nine with another two on the CA.

Rob, not to be forgotten, the FMOGP!

True, I did forget these high capacity foam tenders. As I recall they have 4000 LPM pumps. To be fair, they are special units and not as numerous as the FA pumper. These are really very powerful by European standards, and I should mention that - while most countries measure pump ratings at 10 AT at a three metre lift - France measures pump output at 15 AT, which means their equivalent out put as measured at 10 is around 50 to 60% higher!
