A tank, a live hose reel and/or crosslay, a portable fire pump and/or a compressed air foam system, plus an engine: C.E.T. Fire Pumps Manufacturing can combine these into a one-piece assembly that can be slipped onto a truck bed, trailer or into a body and used for flowing water or foam on a structural fire, car fire or wildfire. The most common wildland-urban interface fire engines in North America combine a small truck with a water tank and a high-performance portable pump. Such drop-in units are used by municipal and industrial fire departments and forestry fire authorities. With sizes ranging from 50 gallons for an all-terrain vehicle to 500 gallons for full-size trucks, drop-in units can be customized by users via the manufacturer's Web site. www.fire-pump.com
