Rick; neat to see a Triple-Axle Tanker, and in Europe, too!
North American "Eagle-Eyes" will note that it is probably a single powered Dual-Wheel rear axle, with Single-Wheel 'Pony' wheels, ahead of it, and, behind. The Single Wheels are staggered, so as not to run over the same wheel-track.
An impressive truck at:
Pump; 8,000 lpm = 1760 Imperial gpm = 2113 US gpm.
Water; 10,000 litres = 2,200 Imp gals = 2,642 US gals.
Foam; 2,000 litres = 440 Imp gals = 528 US gals
At our rural fire-scenes, we would just love to see this very capable rig roll up on Mutual Aid !

Hi Pat! The singlewheelaxle in front of drivewheel, is a Pusheraxle. It´s common on 3-axle tractors in Europe, and it´s not steerable. The rearmost axle is steerable!
