This Type 6, compressed air foam attack truck is full-featured and ready to operate. It is ideally suited for the urban-interface environment in a rural, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire department. It would also be ideal for a large ranch.
With an 18 inch ground clearance at the differentials and a tight turning radius, the Mercedes Unimog U1300L has the ability to drive over a 20 inch deadfall and keep heading towards the fire. Outfitted with 1,300 feet of hose, three 500 watt scene lights, quiet generator, mobile radio and three color-coded chest harness portables, this attack truck is ready to respond today. There is one more feature worth mentioning up front. This truck even has a hose rewinder mounted on the front bumper. If your department or ranch is interested in this truck, be assured that the signage on the cab is removable.
