Abstract
A firefighting vehicle can be transported to a fire, connected to a water supply hose, and maneuvered by remote or self-contained control to dispense water from the supply hose through a nozzle and onto the fire. The apparatus may be driven by a pair of independent, continuous tracks, and may include a video monitor to transmit real-time images to the operator to view the fire and control the apparatus. The nozzle and monitor may be mounted in a vertically rotatable turret portion, enabling water discharge from ground level to past vertical.
