Brace for fire

Hope for the best.

Prepare for the worst.

Seasonal wildfires leave trapped hikers and suburban residents in need of fast-response evacuation, by land approach rescue vehicles supported by helicopters. Such a vehicle has to resist the forces of nature, and cope with an off-road transition.

Ready for service.

Fire Stations near the affected risk areas to be equipped with these vehicles.

Bring safety.

The heat-resistant shields cover a stiff carbon monocoque which gives protection to the insulated passenger area.

Be unstoppable.

6 special wheels with independent suspension make tough terrain approachable for unexpected rescue routes.
