ABSTRACT:
The machine constitutes a tracked type vehicle (1) able to adapt itself to the various terrain irregularities. It includes nozzles to project pressurized air (11) fed by compressors (8) placed upon the general machine chassis, including furthermore fire producing gas projection nozzles (12) that produce fire as the machine advances, so that said nozzles (11) and (12) direct air and fire in the desired direction in order to create a fire lane. The machine incorporates the means necessary to hook a trailer (19) carrying water tanks (21), fire extinguishing fluid tanks (22) and mixing tanks (23) to enable the projection of said components in case of emergency. Said machine is particularly designed to burn off land strips close and parallel to a fire front, so as to prevent it from spreading.
