New Foam Tender MAN Hong Kong
Hong Kong fire services had replaced their old DAF and Isuzu foam tender with the new MAN/Angloco foam tender. Reg no is absent as it is a 'new comer'. The collapsible tank at the body is used to store foam. Turret is joystick controlled.

strictly speaking a foam carrier not a tender as it cannot pump foam itself.

Foam tankers without pumps are quite common, as incidents where these are needed are usually already adequately attended by pumper trucks even before the tanker is on scene. These usually carry multiple proportioning manifolds and additional foam branches, so that foam lines can be established in different areas if needed, as well as providing a central supply source if required.
One version of a not quite foam pumper is the heavy tanker, very popular in the US, France and Poland, and now increasingly common in many other places. These typically carry around 10,000 to 13,000 litres of water along with 500 to 1000 litres of class B foam compound, and have a 3,000 to, 5000 LPM pump with built in proportioning. A dual role roof monitor is roof mounted and foam branches are in the lockers. Although mainly intended for use at class A fires where hydrant or ground water supplies are compromised, these do perform a useful role at class B incidents. First, use the foam capacity of attending pumpers, then turn to the tankers and finally to the foam tender, which will typically be further away from the incident unless the fire service gets lucky!
