The LAFD just got a big upgrade in the way of the Robotic Systems 3, a firefighting robot capable of shooting 2,500=gallons of water or foam per minute. If necessary, it can even be used to knock down walls and roofs. It can be remotely operated with a belly pack controller that provides high-definition video feedback for the ultimate in maneuverability when faced with difficult conditions.

Its modular design and wider stance enables firefighters to add additional equipment if necessary, including a plow assembly as well as a positive pressure ventilation (PPV) ventilator system. The robot is fabricated using industrial-grade steel reinforced rubber tracks, enabling it to navigate rugged terrain and withstand exposure to the extreme elements.
