The following custom is the most recent addition to the Playmobil City International Airport Fire Department. It is based on a 3526 fire engine that has been customized with an on board foam injection system. It is known as the custom FOAM TENDER. All Playmobil apparatus are designed with pump, & roll capability, meaning all apparatus can engage, & pump water or foam concentrate while moving, & all fire trucks are all wheel drive, or 4WD. The first pictures show the vehicle before the addition of the on board foam injection system. The 2 water monitor, cannons are preconnected, & are able to be maneuvered by remote control from inside the cab or manually by personnel when the vehicle is in a stationary position. The yellow tank on top of the compartment bed is the foam tank, & the 2 yellow jerry cans are an additional foam supply that is available to refill the tank. The large red water tank is designed with the foam injector built into its design, & operates separate from the pump, & the 3000 gallon water tank that comes as standard equipment on these fire engines. This truck was obtained with the large original hose reels in poor condition, so 2 custom dual hose reels were designed to replace the originals. Each hose reel can operate separate from the other as shown. The hose reels used in the custom design were made from 2 old style hose reels that were available in the same time as the fire engines, so the color matches the engines. There was a custom support rod, with end plugs to lock the rod into place. There were hose connectors designed to attach the hose on to the reel, but not interfere with the rotation of the new reels. I hope you like the newest addition to the PCIAFD, & its added customizations!
