Chemical fire engines

Japanese: 化学消防車 - かがくしょうぼうしゃ（英語表記）chemical fire engines

A modern fire engine. Used to extinguish fires caused by oil, electricity, and other factors. It carries water and fire-extinguishing chemicals to the scene, mixes them together, and covers the source of the fire with a foam-like extinguishing agent. It is necessary to get close to the source of the fire because the discharge distance is short. A self-protection nozzle is attached to the front of the vehicle, and all operations are performed inside the vehicle for the safety of the firefighters.

近代消防車の一つ。油や電気などの原因によって生じる火災の消火に使われる。水と消火用化学薬品とを現場に運び，これらを混合して泡沫状の消火剤で火元を包む。放出距離が短いので火元に近づく必要がある。自衛用のノズルが車体の前部に取付けられ，操作は消防士の安全のためにすべて車内で行われる。
