Picture 1627-4: Putzmeister M46-5 truck-mounted concrete pump being used to extinguish a fire in SigmaringenPutzmeister products have already been used in previous crisis situations. As a result of this, in 1986, a fire-extinguishing kit was offered as a retrofit on truck-mounted concrete pumps.

 Since then, Putzmeister concrete pumps have continued to prove their effectiveness, even outside of their original purpose, when crises have occurred.

I had no idea Putzmeister had a kit to pump water. See I learn something every month. lol

sorry boss that is a 42 look at 2nd stage and yes i am that board

also easy to pumping out basements

I could be mistaking but this pic look formiliar.. Its oooooold... Isn't it in Germany? From a putz magazine from like 5 or more years ago?

This fire was in sept. 2007.. It was huge . It lasted for 4 days and they used total over 30 fire trucks and another 70 vehicles to supply water. 650 people where involved from fire people to army and police etc.. 8 mixertruck delivered to the pump.. The total water consumption to all the trucks together was 12m3 per minute!!

Thats a lot of water in 4 days..

Here is a cool video of a Schwing fire truck with man lift, I inspected this beast several times over the years, Its an amaziing piece of equipment to say the least. Schwing has manufactured several differant varieties of fire trucks including  a barge mounted underwater high pressure washer to clean dams .
