Near-north Ontario, French River | Local paper featured an article about the wild fires in Idaho, accompanying the article was a photograph in the photograph there is a piece of equipment that looks nothing like anything I've seen before. http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2012/08/19/297872-weste... Is this a 'regular' old piece of forestry equipment or some time of specialized forest fire fighting rig? In the photo, and others I've found on the net the vehicle appears to be in use by the firefighters which lends me to thing its part of their kit, on the other hand "valmet" is clearly visible hood which suggests forestry equipment. Either way, interesting looking piece of equipment. |
