------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Capabilities:==
 --- Four Machine Guns, Four Vehicular Flamers, Four Rocket Launcher 10s with
half of all of it's firepower mounted in a pair of BattleMech Shoulder
Turrets. The FM8R Fireman can and will slaughter the PBI like no other, while
holding a very nasty surprise for any light vehicles the enemy may have up
their sleeve.

 --- Eight Tons of BAR 10 BattleMech Grade Armor afford the FM8R extreme
protection within it's intended role, as well as allowing it to soak ample
damage from a Light 'Mech if required. A top speed of 32.4 km/h puts it up
there with the RM60 UrbanMech in terms of mobility, however the 80 Rated
I.C.E. which powers this BattleMech is far easier to maintain than a Fusion
Engine.

 --- Ten Single Strength Heat Sinks ensure that the FM8R can fire it's weapons
with impunity even under the harshest conditions; however, the Fireman's ICE
power plant means that the machine is susceptible to drowning if it should
become submersed while also prohibiting it from operating under vacuum
conditions.

==Variants:==
 --- No variants are known to exist at this time.

==Deployment==
 --- The FM8R Fireman is a 'Mech employed by every Great House for one reason
or another, mostly due to it's excellent Anti-Infantry / Anti-Insurgency
capabilities as well as it's usefulness in bolstering a garrison. The 'Mech
has spread throughout the major Periphery nations, even proliferating as far
out as the Deep Periphery, while Mercenary Units have made extensive use of it
as well.
