I like it the idea of the TSM to give extra speed when hot is an especially good idea for a fire fighting mech a very useful design

i love the idea you have here. hope you don't mind if i post something along the same lines.

i quickly did some research and calculations and by my calculations, unless i am wrong of course, you can carry ruffly 275 gallons of water per metric ton. Using a number of the GPM [Gallons per Minute] of a fire truck hose i found, which is 600 GPM, i figured that each ton of water and/or foam gave 20 seconds or 2 turns worth of fire power. So i removed the large 5 ton tank that is now covered by ammo.

so here is my contender for the firemech bids around the inner sphere.

I decided on a low-tech setup instead of the expensive one used by Hunter30.

I did decide to use DHS to insure unit safty while out in the field as a fire can quickly overrun this unit. the 5 DHS gives plenty of heat absorption for plodding thru fire.

i decided on a quad setup do to platform stability and incorperated a turret for directional control.

Thou dreasticaly slower then its competition the designers hope to best the Inferno in sales do to simplicity of design and a price tag 1/6 its competitors.

A Model has a heavy flamer for back-fires while the B Model drops the flamer and some armor for a second HPWC [High Pressure Water Cannon].

Hope you like it.

Again thx hunter for an idea to play with.

fills the roll of a forrestry service fire unit better now.

better speed, added jump jets for difficult terrain, but lost armor and simplicity. it is still cheep though when compared to the other unit.
