Since its introduction in 3044 the 'Mech has been purchased by various regions of the Inner Sphere and done well. It was designed to be able to go places that traditional firefighting vehicles are not able to. It is also designed to assist in urban environments where its special tools in fighting fires and salvage abilities are highly valuable.[1]
Equipment & Capacities

The 'Mech also can be use hose adapters and plugged into liquid tanker trucks or local fire hydrant. The 'Mech is powered by a Fuel Cell powered engine, but has low rate of speed.[1]
The 'Mech is protected by 1.5 tons of Industrial Grade Armor, so i can survive damage of fire. However, the 'Mech lacks Environmental Sealing to protect its pilot from smoke and chemical fires.[1]
The 'Mech has a Salvage Arm, which allows to be able to used in search & rescue and delicate firefighting situation where traditional equipment cannot go.[1]
