Fire fighting GTR?

I don't know much more about the ring aside from it being in Germany but I would guess there has to be some hydrants throughout the course. But if there isn’t any we’re just talking a car fire and an engine can’t be that much further behind bringing more than enough water. The only time you’ll run into a water supply issue is if you have a large pileup and everything is burning. So yes the GTR is a little impractical as a firefighting vehicle, but it’s still a pretty cool little set up. I don’t think I’ll be pressing my chief to run off and talk to the town into buying one.
