A main overhead tank (36) and two modular auxiliary tanks (38) provide 2400 liters of storage for water and/or surfactants. The front wheel (20) provides a 360 degree turning radius. The vehicle can be air-lifted and air-dropped with a helicopter via attachment points on the heavy steel frame. An enclosed cab has a fire and impact resistant glass windshields and an air supply to the driver as well as to occupants in the tank compartment, when the tank is removed.
