Well at £16k the first one is almost in the "toy" category, but £560k is some serious investment.
Nice though, I love trucks.

Now there's some tasty bits of kit. Is that seriously 12 thousand HP FW? Presumably to the pump or is that to the wheels as well?
Can't imagine the wheels needing 12000 hp, it would spend most of its time doing donuts

Only 440hp to the wheels. 6x6 but lousy in mud. Bogged it already twice
no pump on board.
8000 liters/min of water or foam from one or two firetrucks is injected in the jet blast of the two turbines. It creates a giant aerosol which we use for firefighting, cooling structures, dissolving gas clouds or overpresurizing tunnels.
really effective and a lot of noise : 136 dB...

Crikey FW, that thing's a monster! Sounds mighty effective. The one in that report dumped nearly 3 Olympic sized swimming pools of water on that area. I bet the wildlife runs away when they see that coming!![emoji6][emoji4]
