can be thrown int(j gear with the engine 

 of the motor truck and water obtained 

 in twenty seconds. It is intended to use 

 standard two and a half inch hrc hose of 

 the linen and unlined type wdiich is much 

 lighter in weight and consequently much 

 more suitable for forest fire protection 

 work. 



The conii)leted unit is practically iden- 

 tically the same as the ordinary city fire 

 pumpin^i^- trucks, however, many of the 

 fr'lls and decorations usually found on 

 tliese have been omitted and only equip- 

 ment is carried.

The initial or experimental unit now 

 roing forward to Banfif, Alberta where 

 it will be stationed, wdll be available for 

 use over an extensive highway system 

 in the Rocky Mountain Park wdiere 

 water is obtainable along almost the en- 

 tire road system. This unit will be ab'c 

 to cope with fires occurring within a 

 distance of 2,000 feet of the roads and 

 when it is necessary to deliver water for 

 a greater distance it can work in con- 

 j inction with the portable units, this 

 making it possible and practicable to de- 

 liver water a very considerable distance 

 from the source of supply. 



Much credit is due the Dominion 



I 'arks IJranch for the pioneer work they 

 are doing in developing mechanical 

 forest fire-fighting equipment.
