M35/W5 Foam Fire Truck with 2320 L Water Tank and Foam Gun
The M35/W5 is a foam fire truck built for crews that need a foam attack without a tanker behind them. It carries 2320 L of water and a separate foam concentrate tank, and the cab seats three with breathing apparatus racks at the backrest. The pump is a CB10/30 unit feeding a water and foam gun at the front of the body.
Water diversion time is 35 s, so the pump can be primed from a draft source without a long pause at the start of an attack. The body is a bonded aluminum alloy structure with separate equipment, tank and pump compartments. Bonding avoids the weld distortion that shows up on plate bodies after years of hard use on uneven ground.
The equipment box is welded from Q235A steel and skinned in anodized LF2 rust proof flat aluminum plate, including the bottom plate and interior panels. Shutter doors are lightweight aluminum alloy, and the inner frame uses a C type rail section. The layout can be rearranged with sliding brackets and draw out plates for long tools and rescue saws.
The appliance fits municipal stations and plant brigades that answer vehicle fires, spill fires and structural calls in one shift. Because foam and water are carried together, the crew can lay a blanket on a fuel spill before a water supply is established. The same tank then feeds the gun from a hydrant for the long overhaul. The three seat cab keeps the crew together, and the equipment box keeps the tools and hose within reach of the crew.
