Built on a rugged Tomcar off-road platform, this unit is designed to go where traditional fire trucks can’t. Whether it’s deep in the woods, along trails, or across rough terrain, Brush 4247 gets our firefighters where they’re needed most — fast.

💧 Equipped with:
• ~80–88 gallon water tank
• 70 GPM pump system
• Wildland firefighting equipment
• Hose reel for quick attack
• Stokes basket for rescue operations

🌲 Primary Uses:
• Brush & wildland fires
• Remote rescues
• Trail & park incidents
• Rapid response support

Brush 4247 plays a critical role alongside our larger brush units, giving us the ability to respond quickly and effectively in areas inaccessible to standard apparatus.

When the call takes us off the road… this is the unit that answers. 💪🔥
