Ukrainian rescuers in France stopped a forest fire that threatened a local settlement due to extreme heat and strong winds.
Among the equipment deployed for the operation was the “Forest” fire tanker manufactured by Validus Special Auto, engineered specifically for difficult terrain.

Key capabilities of the fire tanker:

• MAN 4×4 all-wheel-drive chassis and centralized tire pressure regulation system for confident movement over unpaved roads and challenging surfaces;
• 3,500 L of water and 350 L of foam concentrate providing an essential reserve of extinguishing agents for remote locations;
• A fire pump capacity of 3,000 L/min for fast and high-volume water delivery;
• A remotely controlled monitor with a throw range of at least 50 meters, operated directly from the cab;
• Pump-and-roll capability allowing the vehicle to deliver water while moving to respond dynamically to spreading flames.

We are proud of Ukrainian rescuers assisting European partners with their experience and expertise.
We take pride in knowing that alongside them, vehicles of our production represent Ukraine internationally through high quality and proven operational results.
