M2113 6×6 Airport Fire Truck with 9500 L On Board
The M2113 is an airport fire truck on the Mercedes-Benz ACTROS 3360 chassis with 6×6 drive, built for aircraft rescue and firefighting at regional aerodromes. It carries 9500 L of water and 1200 L of foam. Its roof monitor flows 4800 L/min at 1.0 MPa and throws water about 75 m. The cab keeps the pump and monitor controls within reach of the driver.
Gross weight is 29 tons, which keeps the appliance inside the runway response envelope while leaving room for water, foam and rescue equipment. The chassis runs the OM502LA water-cooled V-type eight-cylinder 24-valve turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine with electronically controlled common rail injection. The 6×6 driveline puts that power on the ground, and the cab carries the firefighting and rescue equipment listed in the specification.
The monitor is an Akron 3578 three-phase jet flow cannon fixed above the pump room on a flanged mounting. It is operated from the cabin, so the driver can change flow rate and switch between straight stream and mist while the vehicle moves. Level travel is 85 degrees each side and elevation spans -30 to 90 degrees. The O-shape nozzle handles water and foam and adjusts infinitely.
Duty cycles follow aerodrome routine: standing by at the runway threshold, responding to an incident, then replenishing from a hydrant or a water point. The cannon is aimed from the cab, and a wireless remote is provided, so the operator stays under cover. Other crew handle hose lines and the rescue equipment, then monitor the foam blanket until the area is declared safe.

Where it fits
Catastrophic aircraft incidents, fuel spill containment and standby cover at regional aerodromes. A 6×6 chassis, 9500 L of water and a 4800 L/min monitor matter more there than road speed on the apron.
