The lift vehicle can quickly deploy with deployable outriggers capable of multi-directional status for support. The boom can support a basket that can have a water cannon. The boom can be controlled by a fireman in the boom itself, and can move into the right position to put water on the seat of a fire. The boom can be equipped with a waterproof camera and/or a thermal imaging system, a hydraulic chainsaw, a gas monitor, a piercing nozzle, a stick chainsaw, and a protective heat curtain. The preferred base has 4-wheel drive and steering for maneuvering on any type of terrain including snow.

Abstract:

A firefighter's emergency boot light that has a built-in LED light generator position to cast a beam of light out of the bottom of a heel or sole of a fireman's boot. The light source can cast a very bright, blinking beam of light out of the bottom of the boot in a backwards direction to allow a firefighter crawling behind another to see the feet one crawling ahead inside a dark, smoky structure. The LEDs typically are white for maximum visibility, and typically blink at a rate of several times a second. The LEDs are electronically activated either from a radio unit located at a control point for example, on the fire engine. Activation signals can be coded to turn on specific boots, or general to turn on all boots at a scene. The boots can use rechargeable batteries.
