Fire truck used by a fire protection service to transport men, extinguishing agents, and equipment to the scene of a fire. In the USSR, fire trucks are produced on standard chassis; depending on conditions under which the fire apparatus are to be used, vehicles may be mounted on heavy-duty chassis or chassis designed for arctic or tropical conditions.
The vehicle's engine powers auxiliary units mounted on the apparatus, such as water equipment and compressor units.
Fire apparatus are classified as basic, special, and auxiliary. Basic apparatus include tank trucks, pumpers, motor fire engines, pumping engines, airport fire trucks, and chemical fire engines that use gas and water, aerated foam, and fire-extinguishing powders. The major function of these vehicles is to deliver fire-extinguishing agents to the scene of a fire. The most common type of basic fire apparatus is the tank truck, which brings men, equipment, and a supply of fire-extinguishing agents to the site of a fire. It also delivers water or aerated foam and transports water in areas without a water supply. The crew of a tank truck includes three to seven firemen. Gas- and water-carrying vehicles are equipped with turbojet units used for extinguishing fires at petroleum and gas wells. Aerated-foam trucks apply the foam to the center of a fire when petroleum products catch fire at petroleum refineries or in storage areas.
