Short Wheel Base?

Sean,
Short Wheel Base because there is also an even longer version of the CA7 8x8.

I'm assuming this is due to water tank sizes, looks big enough already.

Sean,
yes water tank, foam tank and dry powder compartment vary in size depending on airport needs.

It's amazing that something as big as this can be termed 'Short Wheel Base'! The LWB must truly be a monster!

To whom does the title 'largest airport fire rig' goes to? Oshkosh P15 use to be, not sure if it still is.

Yelp,
the "LWB" is roughly 85cm (almost 1 yard) longer and can carry up to 16, 800 litres of water plus up to 2, 200 litres of foam plus 250kg of powder. Overall length is 13, 1 metres
