A very impressive fire appliance. Some fire brigade in UK mount their WMU (which look like this one) on Volvo FL 2-axle chassis.

What a great idea.
Have never seen a crew too enthused about recovering a great length of wet Large Diameter Hose by hand.
And in winter, another problem with it all freezing up solid - have to gather up in great awkward heaps on open truck bed [often a Volunteer's own transport]; then get it to Fire Hall to thaw, uncouple and drain, for restowing.
Australia's hot, dry, interior looks real good then.

If you go to Angus Fire web site, look up Hi Volume hose and then Fetch system this will explain how it works.
