The crew cab is modified into a double-row configuration, with front and rear seats accommodating up to 6 personnel (including the driver). A dedicated control panel and emergency light control box are mounted on the original dashboard. The rear seat backs are equipped with 4 fixed SCBA holders. The cab is tiltable for convenient engine maintenance. The vehicle uses a full-power sandwich-type PTO system, enabling simultaneous driving and water pumping.
● Pump Compartment & Equipment Cabinet
The main frame uses Q235 high-quality perforated steel in a fully welded structure. Exterior panels are made from welded carbon steel or smooth aluminum bonded with high-strength adhesive.
The pump compartment is located at the rear, with aluminum alloy roller shutters on both sides and the back, all equipped with interior lighting. Non-slip footboards are installed on both sides. Compartments beside the footboards can hold commonly used tools. A rear ladder provides access to the roof.
The equipment cabinet is located behind the crew cab, also with aluminum alloy roller shutters on both sides, interior lighting, and non-slip footboards. Pull-out trays and storage boxes are integrated within the perforated steel structure for flexible tool arrangement. Ample space is reserved for custom equipment placement.
The roof is walkable and features anti-slip treatment. Thermal insulation is achieved via an independent diesel heater (optional based on customer needs).
The 8-ton water tank is made of carbon steel treated with a complete phosphating process. The design thickness is 4:4:3 mm (bottom: side: baffle). The tank is rigidly mounted to the chassis frame.

● Firefighting Control System
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Control System | 2-part system: Cab Controls and Pump Compartment Controls |
| Cab Controls | – Master electrical switch- Air system switch- Water pump PTO engage/disengage- Emergency lights & sirens- Lighting & signal devices |
| Pump Controls | – Valve operation switches- Parameter display- Status indicators |
| Electrical System | – Independent circuit layout- High-quality domestic components- Separate circuits for electric and pneumatic systems |
| Lighting System | – Operates on 24V- Dedicated lighting in: Crew cab, pump room, equipment compartments- Illuminated control panels with indicator lights |
| Warning Lights | – 2 red-blue strobe lights are mounted on each side of the vehicle. |
The signal system includes a full-width lightbar on top of the cab and an electronic siren with continuous frequency modulation, with the control unit positioned below the driver’s dashboard.
For scene illumination, a rear-mounted searchlight is installed on the superstructure.
Flipping footboards feature LED safety warning lights, and LED strips are installed along the edges of compartment shutters and the pump room for nighttime operation. These help prevent accidental bumps or scratches in low visibility conditions.
The vehicle exterior is coated with imported paint, in bright red as the primary color.
Firefighting equipment layout and installation follow standard guidelines. Equipment is arranged compactly and securely, allowing for retrieval within 2 actions. Based on operational procedures, items are positioned for easy access, enabling multiple operators to work simultaneously without interference. All items are fixed using anti-corrosion, anti-vibration, anti-detachment, anti-scratch, rotary, sliding, or pull-type specialized holders with clear labeling.
