The Brush Buggy features four wheel drive and an impressive 55 degree angle of approach and departure. It is not rated for 55 degree climbing or decent, but this steep angle will prevent damage to the frame or body when in extreme off road conditions. The Brush Buggy has a small water tank, however, it's Class A foam system and high pressure/low gpm pump will help stretch the limited amount of water carried. The Brush Buggy does not have a Compressed Air Foam System, but one could probably be added with the reduction of the size of the booster tank. It makes an ideal first response piece for grass or brush fires or anywhere where access to the fire could be a problem, including inside industrial plants as part of an industrial fire brigade. When operated with our other apparatus, the Brush Buggy can go into limited access areas to fight the fire directly while other apparatus create fire lines to surround the fire and to refill the Brush Buggy's booster tank so it can continue to battle the flames. The Brush Buggy's booster reel can be operated by the seated minifigs, making pump and roll operations safer then walking alongside or riding on the rear of the apparatus. The Brush Buggy has been around in various forms since 2001 and we are now proud to offer you this improved version! |
