Shaz. Photos show equipment truck and a large foam truck. Large airports usually have several truckloads of foam that sweeps the floor and a nozzle head which can be driven to the foam spray when necessary to extinguish the fire. There is a large reservoir of water carried on board foam tank additive. The plumbing is in place so that the operator in the cabin can throw a switch to mix the additive with water to produce foam. Foam floats on top of petrol and kerosene and the flames suffocate. Water alone is not effective at all fires with burning liquid.

The big truck has extra-large wheels so he can go in the grass and not restricted to paved surfaces. I do not know the manufacturer of such vehicles, but here in the USA Oshkosh is known for making equipment airport firefighters. I included a link below that shows some of the material in Indianapolis, IN, USA airport which also shows data on capacity.

If you use a search engine, you can probably find many more photos of the fire department.

Sincerely,
