Pickup trucks converter Pick Up Systems has launched a Multi Purpose Utility Vehicle (MPUV), to be showcased at the forthcoming Emergency Services show.
 The firm says its MPUVs are idea for front line small fire units (SFUs) – getting away from the 'one vehicle fits all' approach and handling the 80% nuisance fires that five-man crews can handle.
Daryl Oprey, chief operations officer at Humberside Fire and Rescue explains that nuisance fires tend to peak during a particular time of the year.
"If we could detach the fire fighting pump out of the unit, it would then be a multi purpose unit we could kit up with other equipment," he says.
The MPUV can transform into a small fire unit or a support vehicle. The pumper is carried on a sled, which can be removed and replaced by other types of emergency equipment.
