Try the link below and look at Jumbo Fire Truck and Minebreaker.

TEXOGA is a Texas-based company that has acquired or merged existing health, safety and environmental technologies into a premier product and service company.

FIRE-FIGHTING TANK
FFT 5000 Fire-Fighting Tank for fire containment in remote areas. This vehicle – developed by Europe's largest defense contractor KRAUSS MAFFEI-WEGMANN – is designed with extensive off-road and land-clearing capabilities and consists of a 5,000 gallon foam delivery system mounted on the reliable Leopard I tank chassis. The integrated nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection system of the Leopard 1 protects the crew against smoke and toxic gases and allows this vehicle to operate where no commercial unit can go. Conversely, its mountable high tech rubberized pads for the tracks enable it to be driven on public roads. Coupled with the above features and the capability to be transported on a commercial trailer, this vehicle can be deployed to respond to the most hazardous fire situations. The unit is best suited for forest fires, harbor and industrial fire-fighting, tunnel tires and refinery and petrochemical remote sites (desert and jungle).

MINEBREAKER
In addition to its safe operation, another advantage of the MINEBREAKER 2000/2 is its high demining capacity_ Whereas a team of 30 experienced deminers can clear up to 1,000 m2 per day, the MINEBREAKER 2000/2, de pending on the soil, can clear up to 2 ha in one working day.
