Description
The Pompier FireMech was constructed by GM's Kathil, for domestic firefighting needs. The ultra-light Industrial 'Mech was designed to transverse 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.[2]
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.[3]
Weapons and Equipment
The Pompier is equipped with a Radial FlexiSprayer, which is principle equipment on the 'Mech to draw half-ton liquid Tank with either Water or fire-retardant foam. 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.[2]
The 'Mech is protected by 1.5 tons of Industrial Grade Armor, so it can survive damage of fire. However, the 'Mech lacks Environmental Sealing to protect its pilot from smoke and chemical fires.[2]
The 'Mech has a Salvage Arm, which allows to be able to used in search and rescue and delicate firefighting situation where traditional equipment cannot go.[2]
