Many French fire services have operated a variety of compact light fire pumps, for minor interventions and to be capable of getting into older urban streets with difficult access.

This one is however a really small example, with very limited equipment and only two seats. It was on a pickup version of a medium van which was more commonly used as the basis for an ambulance.

On closer examination, it does seem to have very tight looking and not easily accessible back seats. I imagine that - even though the tank looks quite small - this could have been another example of the worldwide phenomenon of fire services occasionally/slightly overloading the design weight of a few fire appliances on light vehicle chassis!
