The city and Scottsdale Rural Fire Protection jointly developed a modular fire fighting vehicle built on a heavy-duty 30 foot chassis. It features a permanent pump and a detachable rear pump with 1250 and 750 gpm respectively, an 800 gallon tank, four inch hoses for potential higher pumping rate, and a deluge top gun. If proven successful, plans for flood and disaster rescue trucks using modular equipment may follow.
