Brush Trucks

A Brush Truck (Mini Pumper or combination vehicle) is a combination of an all terrain vehicle, mini-pumper, and a wilderness rescue vehicle, often used to fight wildfires.^[1] It is sometimes also known as a booster, Brush Breaker, or simply a Breaker.

Typically, an example would be a heavy duty pickup truck outfitted with a 200+ gallon tank, Indian tanks, chainsaws, picks, fire rakes, and stretchers for rescue operations. Most trucks would have a front mounted secondary pump that can feed its primary outlets, or can provide boost power to supplement a high drawing engine. The role of a Brush truck is simply, get in where the main apparatus(es) cannot go, such as narrow roads, fields, or in very swampy areas.
