Description

The Pompier FireMech was constructed by GM's Kathil, for domestic firefighting needs. The ultra-light Industrial 'Mech was designed to traverse roads without damaging them. 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.[3]

After the Jihad GM transferred production of the Pompier to plants on El Dorado and Talcott. Those lines focused on producing the Pompier HT model, which was in high demand to clean up the many chemical warfare sites that were created during the conflict.[4]

Weapons and Equipment

The Pompier is equipped with a Radial FlexiSprayer, which is the principle fire fighting equipment on the 'Mech, drawing either water or fire-retardant foam from an internal liquid tank with a maximal capacity of half a ton. Alternatively to using its internal tank, the 'Mech also can use hose adapters and plug into liquid tanker trucks or local fire hydrants. The 'Mech is powered by a Fuel Cell powered engine, giving it an overland speed of 32.4km/h.[3]

The 'Mech is protected by 1.5 tons of Industrial Grade Armor, allowing it to survive damage sustained from operating close to the fire. However, the 'Mech lacks Environmental Sealing to protect its pilot from smoke and chemical fires.[3]

The 'Mech has a Salvage Arm and a Searchlight, which enable the 'Mech to be used for search and rescue operations and during delicate firefighting situations where traditional equipment cannot go.[3]

Variants

  • Pompier GM-3HT 
    Pompier High-Threat is an emergency response FireMech designed to combat chemical fires. Introduced in 3060, the HT variant sacrifices its salvage arm for quadruple liquid tank storage capacity and environmental sealing enter high toxic fire situations. These 'Mechs have been seen in service with industrial complexes (space, air, and seaports) as well as traditional civil organizations. These organizations usually have a single or pair HT variants on standby.[3] BV(2.0)=106[5][6]
  • Pompier GM-FL 
    An unique version of the Pompier produced in 3076, this was originally designed to test engines and other unique configurations. It was stolen from GM in 3080 and ended up in the hands of a professional kidnapper. Equipped with Advanced Fire Control, it also mounts a pair of Machine Guns in the left arm, a Flamer in the right arm, and a Fluid Gun with a ton of ammo in the right torso. It uses a fusion engine to reach a cruising speed of 46km/h, with a common top speed of 64 km/h. GM engineers experimented with using a Supercharger on the design, and so it can reach a sprint speed of 84km/h. Despite these advances, it's only protected by half a ton of Commercial Armor so it cannot stand up to any battlefield weapon. Despite this shortcoming, it is perfectly adequate to oversee criminal activities and meetings.[9] BV (2.0) = 88[10][11]

Design Quirks

The GM-FL Pompier variant is subject to the following Design Quirks:[9]

Notes

The Pompier has only appeared in the TRO: Vehicle Annex. Additional GM design, 90 ton St. Florian FireMech is mentioned as well, but there are no known stats list anywhere for it.[3]
