Farnheim Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Hi all, another more or less unique apparatus is a so called Turbo Extinguisher. I got inspired by a huge fire in a city in my area last summer, when several fire departments from different cities were helping out to fight the flames. They were also supported by a plant fire brigade, that sent such a monster truck. The main extinguisher unit is a twin jet engine combined with big nozzles, that vaporises water into a massive spray reaching high and/or long distances. The effect is higly efficient. Well, here's my 4wide conversion of this monster. Don't be bothered by the paint scheme (with the slight part of white). I changed it a bit afterwards. So it fits better to the trucks of my plant fire brigade. The last two pics show the actual paint scheme. For a comparison and further details, you can have a closer look at the manufacturs website. As a sidenote: The FD of Hamburg once wanted to buy such a truck, cause of the high risk potential of the international sea port. But its costs couldn't ever be financed. Hope you like it. Thanks for watching. Farnheim Quote

solta Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I love the details on your Turbo Extinguisher. Especially when the water runs out of it... Quote
ER0L Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Another great vehicle from you Farnheim! May a 4-wide truck look like an intimidating beast? Oh yes! I guess you shouldn't stand in the way of what this whale of a truck blows out! Your photography is really outstanding, too, as you already might have heard! Looking forward for more monster trucks to come! :thumbup: Quote
