ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a modular fire fighting apparatus which may be quickly and easily mounted onto an ordinary pickup truck, and conveniently operated by the vehicle driver from the cab of the vehicle. The module generally includes a pump coupled to an engine for pumping a fire-retardant liquid, a control means for regulating the amount of liquid pumped, and a reservoir tank fluidly connected to the pump. The frame of the apparatus both unitizes the pump, engine and tank, and positions the engine and pump controls within the reach of the operator when the operator is in the cab of the vehicle. The invention further includes a tank level indicator including a transparent conduit and an elongated float engaged onto a guide rod in the tank for providing a visual display of the tank level which is positioned so that it may be observed through the rear-view mirror of the truck. Finally, the invention includes an over-the-cab hose which may be detachably coupled onto a spray bar mounted onto the front of the truck.
