Fire Engines Photos

There was a very interesting article about this impressive vehicle in the Een-Een-Twee magazine (Dutch Fire Enthusiast society). Nice article from Erik Schwartz with amazing photos.
The chassis is a Scania P400 LB 10x4, with a bodywork from Kenbri Fire fighting. There is a 4200 litre foam concentrate tank onboard, and also a tank with 2500 litres of water. The pump is a Rosenbauer SP N100, with capacity of 10000 l/m (10 bar). When the unit is on a hydrant it can even pump 14000 l/m (12 bar). The pump is driven by a separate Deutz V6 engine with 490 BHP.
The boom was built by Bronto and is a F32 HDT (32 metre.
The vehicle is nearly 12 metres long and the weight is 42000 kilo.

May explain why we pay so much for BP fuel in Australia, this is a nonscience to me, sorry, , , ,

That has to be one of the most impressive appliances I have seen in years. I can only guess that BP Rotterdam is one massive risk for them to have such a vehicle?

That works out to be just over 46 tons which would make it 2 tons overweight in the UK! You would also need a class C+E licence to drive it!

Not entirely true sean. It only has 5 axles which makes it a 40 ton limit. 42 tonnes is the limit for 6 axles.
