Wildland Off-Road Emergency Vehicle

Built on a sturdy pickup truck frame, this wildland rescue vehicle is fitted with oversized off-road tires to navigate rough terrain. A compact water storage tank sits in the rear bed area, allowing the vehicle to reach remote areas off paved roads.

How Wildland Fire Trucks Operate

Wildland fire engines, often called brush trucks, are smaller and lighter than city fire engines so they can drive through narrow forest trails and steep hills. They carry specialized light hoses and protective tools specifically designed for extinguishing grass and woodland fires. Four-wheel drive capability enables these trucks to cross mud, sand, and unpaved mountain roads easily.

Colors of a Wildland Fire Pickup

  • Pickup cab and body: standard fire red, safety green, or white
  • Rear water tank unit: metallic silver, dark gray, or black
  • Oversized off-road tires: deep black rubber with thick treads
  • Wheel rims: dark steel or matte black alloy
Questions and answers

Wildland Rescue Questions and Answers

Why do wildland fire trucks use pickup truck bodies instead of big engine bodies?
Pickup truck frames are lighter and more nimble, allowing firefighters to drive through dense forests and over uneven ground where large city fire engines would get stuck.
How do brush trucks put out fires while driving?
Many wildland engines have pump-and-roll systems, which allow the water pump to operate using a separate engine while the truck is moving forward.
