https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax/first-responder-from-42043

Inspired by official lego 42075 with enhanced functions:
* HOG front wheel steering
* rear and front suspension
* opening hood, doors and back side compartments
* flat 4-piston engine connected to rear axle
* front winch with hook
* rear fire hose
* elevated boom with spotlight

2 variants:
* fire in unavailable area - big water tank
* vehicle accident - small water tank + surveillance drone, traffic cones, water pump

Except parts from 42043 set, you would need string

53 pages of generated instructions (A4 landscape orientation) for both versions - sample on bricksafe
