Uni-Engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Uni-Engine ("Klump pump") is a self-contained mobile firefighting apparatus. It consists of a water tank, high-pressure pump and storage area. It is transportable to remote wildland fire locations by truck or helicopter.[1]

Klump pumps were used by hotshot crews to limit the extent of controlled burns used to combat the Station fire in 2009 during the defense of Mt Wilson, California.[2]
