Meanwhile, the fire has given crews the opportunity to deploy the PHF 20T, a converted 1960s German military tank. The vehicle is being used to snuff out hot spots that could spring up around the perimeter near O’Brien.

Built in Germany and distributed in the United States by the Texas-based Texoga company, the tank has been extensively converted for fire protection purposes. It is equipped with a 5,000-gallon water storage tank and a nozzle capable of launching 200 to 500 gallons of water every minute from a turret at its front.

The ultimate in 'Super Soakers'. Be the first on your block to get one.

The tank sounds like fun. I would like to use one to get to and from the fly fishing streams in S. Oregon and N. Kali that are overgrown with brush and have no roads due to the Green Jihadist's forest agendas.

Then when an ALF/ELF/PETA Freak shows up to protest me making new roads, clearing brush and fly fishing, I could use the 500 gallon per minute nozzle to clean them up for the first time in their lives.

The Green Jihadists will be against it as it is too effective.
