Specialized fire fighting methods and equipment have
become an integral part of modern communications and industrial life.
Many fires resist or are spread, by the use of conventional water spray.
Willys distributors are ready to meet this need with an especially
adapted Jeep that fights fire without water.
THE JEEP CRASH WAGON is the versatile four-wheel
drive vehicle equipped for fighting all types of fires in difficult,
hard-to-reach locations where a ready water supply is not always
available or required. Entirely self-sufficient, the 'Jeep' Crash Wagon
requires no water supply. It fights fire with chemicals which smoother
flames quickly. It carries enough equipment to produce over 850 cubic
feet of foam and 90 pounds of CO2 (carbon dioxide gas)--two of the most
effective fire-smothering agents known. CO2 is recommended for
electrical fires and foam for oil and gasoline fires. The equipment can
be operated by inexperienced personnel and highly-trained firefighting
crews are unnecessary.
Because of its great maneuverability and selective
two and four-wheel-drive, the Crash Wagon can travel at fast speeds to
reach places where ordinary fire-fighting equipment cannot go. Powered
by the highly-efficient Hurricane Engine, the 'Jeep' Crash Wagon
provides low-cost fire protection.
