This truck has personality. It wasn't meant for camping, it was meant for fighting. Fighting fires of course. Nice shot Antoon.

Howard . You are right. Most of these were actually used by the military for combat and combat support roles. The small number which were used by the armed forces for firefighting were a rather basic adaptation of the army truck - a bit like the GMC 6X6 leftovers which were used as forest fire trucks in France.
