BMPM has in fact no less than 43 brush trucks, ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 litres in tank capacity, as well as three 12,000 litre tankers to keep them replenished. Because of its many areas of brush and woodland, French departmental fire services together operate over 4, 500 brush trucks and tankers - actually outnumbering their fleet of pumpers and water tenders for structural and urban firefighting.
Only BSPP (also military) has no brush trucks, although they do have nine 4x4 light water tenders which have some off road capability- but they too are primarily for structural fire incidents.
