Häglunds BV 206

Adapted from the BV206 "Snow Cat" three of these all terrain vehicles were built for the Falkland Islands and at the time of writing are based at MPA Fire Section.  The rear car has an AFFF system similar to those on TACR's as well as hydraulic rescue equipment.  In addition to its impressive cross country capability, it can also be underslung beneath a Chinook Helicopter for deployment to fires on remote sites - an infinitely better solution than a 90ltr foam extinguisher.
