Forestfire Bushfire Wildfire Airmatic RED rescue extinguish defend Löschpanzer Marder

Aggressive Firefighting with nearly unlimited offroad capabilities but with a maximum speed of 65km/h also agile on road. Concept RED: R.escue, E.extinguish, D.efend. Rescueing people that are entrapped by a wildfire is first time possible due to the armoured tracked vehicle, guided by a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, drone). crew and rescued people and the diesel engine are supplied by compressed air when passing the fire zone. In case of an emergency one vehicle offers space for up to 20 people.
The unique high pressure vortex extinguishing technology works very efficiently with a enourmous jet range but a minimum water consumption. The water monitor is mounted on the roof and is controlled by simple joystick from inside the protected vehicle. Firebreaks can be easyly created with the help of the solid dozer blade. The holistic solution RED comprises a group of 4 RED vehicles type marder which are working together embedded seamlessly into the existing firebrigade structure. An important component for the extinguishing water logistics is the quick assembly reservoir, erected just within 15 minutes and filled by helicopter or landbased by normal tanker.

I have a plan of action for the new Biden/Harris administration along this lines. My concept goes beyond the brushfires but into the heavy forest. I will use smoke and ground detectors to pinpoint the location of the fires, the winds, the night/day environment, etc. I even have some concepts for tornado alley, droughts and inundations and hurricanes.

Practical issue: In a large state like Calif - or mine in Australia, you'll have to cover huge distances to get to a fire. Here for major fires, brigades pool their resources, I've seen fire trucks come from towns over 1,000km away. You can drive those distances, using up valuable track miles and get to the scene hours later - or put them on low loaders and truck them there. A key to using them in a large fire is getting enough low loaders - in time - from the Army or locally.

[@PopulismIsForBottomFeeders]

So good of the Blood Ravens Astartes to deploy their Rhinos and Razorbacks on this world to help with the firefighting efforts. Praise the Emperor!!

[@M3iscool]

The concept is good but I agree with a lot of the people here, it is very complicated and it lacks extinguishing power.

[@aarontsmall1975]

Might be a good basis for a safer Dozer for fireline construction - use an MBT chassis instead, with an overpressure, cooling system for burnovers. Would have to be better in terms of overhead protection than the D9's usually used.

California needs more of this equipment

[@lutomson3496]

I wonder if these have been used in heavy fires, i dont know if the firefighters want equipment though replacing them, even for field fires they could be using surplus airport oshkosh trucks to mop up, but that takes people away, California needs to think about saving lives instead of saving jobs

[@peoplehaterable]

GEILES TEIL!!!

[@Homoprimatesapiens]

Impressive but they need bigger choppers with larger water bags. They also need some variable nozzles on the extinguisher cannons that will spread water over a larger aria for more effective cooling. But they will hopefully upgrade to that.

[@rajaklina]

i hope one day malaysia fire&rescuers buy this aset

[@infinitecanadian]

I gotta get me one of those!

[@Dave38K]

Short answer - no, it's not my business. Here, they use mostly crop sprayers in their off-season. A small helo with a bucket can fill up 900L by dunking into a dam or a swimming pool. The larger helos, like the Erikson Skycrane will also hover over a dam and take on 9,000L in a few minutes. They can also do this from the same roadside points that fill up the trucks. From there, the cycle time depends on how far they're from the fire.

[@sas21773]

these are the best in a wildfire situation

[@Ravager669]

coms are cheezy but the concept is strong

[@jonas0671]

looks like a conversion of a swedish apc that is still in use with the armed forces and some other nordic countries .. a very good piece of equipment

[@Apocalyth]

Oh lets just fill up this pool while the fire blazes in the background XD

The only thing this is good for is delivering Beer and Burgers to the firefighters. To be effective you would need an endless supply of water.

[@bigbenmk4873]

[@xyloman321]

Just a suggestion for music, I feel it is suitable: Step 1: Open a new Tab. Step 2: Search "Barry Gray - Thunderbirds Theme" (choose the first video). Step 3: Go to 0:35 on this video. Step 4: Increase volume on the Thunderbirds Theme video. Step 5: Play both at the same time and enjoy for 2 and a half minutes.

[@PUFCKG]

Wow. Thunderbirds Are Go

[@georgiesonymusic675]

Oh my God, governments spend billions of dollars on military weapons and a minimum on firefighter equipment. This is so sad.

[@darinjones9959]

Great Demo.

[@Hilteranerjung]

This is Firefighting :-) great!

[@Dave38K]

Life or Death 1 The tracks are "live" tracks. Each link is separated from the next by a link pin inside a neoprene bushing, there's no metal-to-metal contact. When this bushing wears out, the links wear and the track breaks (been there done that) Neoprene and the adhesives aren't rated to fire temperatures. Cross enough burning - or hot ground and the rubber catches fire, leading to track breakage, stranding inside the fire for hours, loss of vehicle and crew.

[@Fendt81800000]

Richtig gutes viedieo

[@alexsorensen9055]

this is the best way to fight forrestfires

[@thespecialneedsgroup]

I'd assume that those rubber tracks (I think their rubber, I can't really tell) would be prone to expanding and weakening in fire zones, too.

[@StressfulGengar]

I think this was filmed on a potato.

[@diedododie1]

hi i'm really sorry but that must be one of the funniest video's i've seen in a long time. the list of impractical , uneconomic and just dangerous recommendations in this solution is huge. In OZ, we have some of the world's worst bushfires -the decisions fire teams make on bushland interface protection, hazard reduction and aggressive defence to a rapidly moving fire front aren't suited to this solution. too much tine watching Thunderbirds i think.

Schützenpanzer marder als Feuerwehr auto Mega geil will auch 😄

[@Dave38K]

I'm an old APC driver and there's no way in hell I'd be driving a retired tracked vehicle into a life threatening situation. Even new tanks and APCs will throw a track in countryside like this, driving over hot ground or burning brush will destroy the neoprene seals inside the track links. Once you're stuck in your APC inside a fire, it's only a matter of minutes before the temperature inside the big aluminium box turns lethal. You'd be cooked in 20 minutes. NO THANKS.

[@nickm6670]

Cool concept, impractical as all hell. They would be better off using an assault breacher type vehicle or an amphibian. The abv can dig fire breaks and the amphib could refill by driving into a water source.

[@roflcopterkklol]

I just don't understand the armour? you could probably put a much larger water tank on the thing if it was lighter to begin with....

[@otrauma1948]

what if the fire starts shooting at it

[@rudeboystu69]

+roflcopterkklol They're probably repurposed, surplus armoured personnel carriers the manufacturers got cheap, and were able to convert into firefighting vehicles. I imagine they were just a ready source of fairly cheap, very robust tracked vehicles.

[@roflcopterkklol]

rudeboystu69 Probably right, they probably used the crew transport area to hold the water tank, still wouldnt hurt to cut the armour off them even if it is only thin.

[@f45411]

+roflcopterkklol no point, that cost money and the armor can be used to push through the most intense fires "Rescueing people that are entrapped by a wildfire is first time possible due to the armoured tracked vehicle" - from video description

[@Dave38K]

The smaller helos that fight fires in my state have 900L capacity that they can fill in seconds by dunking into farm dams or swimming pools. The larger units, such as the Erikson Skycrane, which have been contracted in Australia for the last 6-7 years have over 9,000L capacity. These are also filled by pumping from dams and pools - or by landing and being filled by the same resources as fire trucks.
