One of Paris BSPP's unique combination pump and ambulance appliances.
Over 100 of these are stationed in the metropolitan area along with some 130 regular ALS and BLS ambulances, around forty additional conventional pumpers and more than sixty aerial appliances, as well as numerous specials.
They have a 1000 LPM pump, a 600 liter tank, CAFS, an extension and a hook ladder, two one man hose carts with both 45 ad 65 mm hoses, a first aid 23 mm hose reel, a full complement of BA sets, hand tools, hoses and hose fittings - and a well equipped medical compartment which accommodates one patient on a stretcher.
The crew includes five firefighter/EMTs.
Structural fires are usually attended by one of these units as well as a pump appliance, an aerial and an officer's utility vehicle with a total of fourteen personnel.
The unusual design packs a lot of capacity for both fire and medical emergencies into a small maneuverable package which is ideally suited to the city's older districts, with narrow and often steep streets and difficult access for anything larger.
