Beefy off-road pump-tanker. This is what you bought before the bigger Unimogs were introduced, if you wanted to carry 2, 000 or more liters in the tank - and go almost anywhere with it....

Still in service after forty five years is no surprise for this series of Benz. There are some even older in many South American volunteer fire companies...

The only issue is that I think sitting in those sideways crew seats behind the cab while traveling over really rough country might have been a bit more dangerous than actual firefighting when it got to the fire!
