Multi-purpose vehicle (fire brigade)
A multi-purpose vehicle (MZF) is a fire service vehicle that can perform various tasks in an emergency. It is related to the crew transport vehicle (MTF) (especially the MTF with loading area), but usually has a larger load or is designed more for material transport.
