WOW ! About 10 years ago, I knew a guy who was trying to convince Ford to try to get in the mini/portable pumper business ! Not build the vehicles/pumps, just provide engineering assistance in how to connect up the piece and modify the electronics. No one within the company was interested !
An F550 dually could carry a lot of water to a remote fire !
The F550 is probably the most common platform on which to build small wildland engines. 400 gallons of water is about the limit by the time you add in the weight of the body, hose, equipment and personnel.
