Mercedes SK Fire Pumper "A normal german Firetruck"

[Daveroo]

wow..thats very nice,but id like a lesson in German Fire fighting,the rear mounted hose reel,is that dismounted at a fire and pulled by hand to the hydrant?or from the engine to a second engine or the fire scene itself?..

where i worked,we had the supply line hoses (normally two and a half inch,cotton jacketed canvas hose) loaded on the truck bed above the tank,with equipment compartments on the rear and sides of the body,we lay the supply lines from the hydrant to the fire,or if 3rd or 4th in to the call,we then lay from the engines at scene back to a hydrant.i hope that makes sence...id just like to know more about that reel with the wheels.

We use the Hose for the Distance between the Truck and the Fire Scene and between a potable Pump and the Truck.

Well, I looked up the web side and found out that you are building the TLF16 version.
Very nicely done.

Yes, it is the TLF 16/25.
The Reel Hose is a special for this Truck
