Most fire engines in the US don't carry significant water, they're "pumper trucks" for boosting pressure from fire hydrants. 80% of US citizens live in urban areas with access to hydrants. They also carry lots of other gear too: https://rosenbaueramerica.com/fire-trucks/pumpers/ https://rosenbaueramerica.com/fire-trucks/pumpers/ But you can do everything those do with an E-series cutaway ($200k fully outfitted?) and a pump pulled on a trailer. For a whole lot less than $2M. https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/e-series-cutaway/2025/?fmccmp=lp-truck-commercial-mid-hp-e-series-cutaway-comm https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/e-series-cutaway/2025...
