In the late 1950s and early 1960s, giant trucks of unprecedented size and power appeared in the USSR. One of the famous novelties of that period is the four-axle all-wheel drive (8x8) MAZ-543 chassis.
At the initiative of the Marshal of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov on June 25, 1954, a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR was adopted on the organization of special design bureaus (SKB) at the Moscow ZIS plant and the Minsk automobile plant MAZ to create multi-axle off-road wheeled vehicles for the Ministry of Defense. At ZIS, the SKB was headed by V.A. Grachev, at MAZ - B.L. Shaposhnik. During 1954, SKB-1 and a pilot production shop (PTS) were opened in Minsk.
The first development of the new "Mazovsky" design bureau was a family of four-axle eight-wheeled ballast and truck tractors MAZ-535 and MAZ-537. These machines, which became serial in 1957, were produced for many years first by MAZ, then, from the mid-60s, by the Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant. The second basic four-axle model MAZ-543 was designed in 1961. This truck was developed as a chassis for mobile missile systems. As a result of research and testing, it turned out that a wheeled chassis is much better suited as a mobile rocket launch pad than a tracked one.
The specific purpose of the machine determined, for example, such a feature as two low and narrow two-door cabs on the right and left. Between them was the hood of the engine compartment - in the transport position, the rocket could be laid so that its nose was between the cabins - this was an important difference from the MAZ-535/537, which had a conventional cabin installed in front of the engine compartment. Both narrow cabs MAZ-543, like the hood, were made of fiberglass.
The aggregate base of the MAZ-543 has retained a number of solutions tested on the MAZ-535/537. For example, the engine was a twelve-cylinder V-shaped diesel D-12-525, produced by the Barnaul plant and based on the V-2 tank engine of the Great Patriotic War. It featured overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and a dry sump lubrication system. The gearbox of all four-axle MAZs of those years was automatic, hydromechanical, four-speed. The frame was called "trough-shaped" because of the concave shape of the crossbars - this also reduced the overall height of the installation. The undercarriage was distinguished by independent wheel suspension with longitudinal torsion bars and planetary wheel reduction gears. The wheels of the first and second axles were steerable. The car received a proper name - "Hurricane".
Several dozen types of weapons were mounted on the MAZ-543 chassis. But, in addition to the army, these machines, as well as the MAZ-537, found many areas of application in the national economy. These machines worked at the construction sites of oil, gas and industrial enterprises throughout the country. They were used for transportation on special multi-axle trailers of especially heavy indivisible and oversized cargo. Sometimes a huge industrial plant was transported by a "coupling" of several MAZs - two cars, attached one after the other, pull the load in front, and another car pushes from behind. Flatbed trucks, ballast tractors, dump trucks, pipe carriers, timber carriers were created on the MAZ-543 chassis. It should be noted that the existence of a series of trucks MAZ-543 was not a secret to the Soviet public. Already in the early 70s, automotive and technical magazines wrote about these machines, their various modifications were exhibited at VDNKh. Even self-propelled rocket launchers have taken part in military parades on Red Square since 1965. And, of course, firefighters decided to take advantage of the enormous capabilities of such a car.
In 1973, at the Fire Engine Plant in Priluki, Chernihiv Region, the production of a huge airfield fire engine AA-60 (543) -160 was mastered on the MAZ-543 chassis, developed by the Priluki OKB-8, which was engaged in fire fighting equipment. The main specialty of the novelty was the airfield fire service. Machines of this and subsequent modifications of the Hurricanes were used mainly in large airports that received large passenger and transport aircraft. More than 10 tons of fire extinguishing agents were included in the tank and the foam tank: 12,000 liters of water and 900 liters of foam. This mass was required to suppress a fire on such an airliner as the IL-62 or TU-154 and ensure the evacuation of passengers. In fact, for rescue work in case of fires on aircraft of this class, the efforts of airfield fire engines based on ZIL-157, ZIL-131 or Ural-375 were often not enough.
In addition, there were cases when it was necessary to extinguish spilled fuel at airfields. Here, the power and weight of the fire truck also played a significant role. MAZ-543 firefighters were on combat duty directly at the airfields. Between the cabins above the engine compartment there was a fire monitor that rose, lowered and rotated with the help of hydraulic cylinders. This system was controlled by a crew member from the cockpit. From the barrel, the machine could shoot a stream of water of 60 liters per second at a distance of 70 meters or 36 cubic meters of foam at 40 meters. Foam generators with four nozzles were located in front of the bumper and behind the bottom - each for extinguishing spilled fuel.
In 1977, a modernized fire engine AA-60 (7310) 160.01 appeared. The base chassis of the truck by that time had been renamed according to the new GOST to MAZ-7310. The new model was distinguished by an autonomous engine that powered the PN-160B fire pump and was installed in the tail section behind the tank. This second engine was a 180-horsepower V-shaped eight-cylinder ZIL-375 gasoline engine taken from a heavy truck. This was followed by a modification of the AA-70 (7310) -220, which provided for the possibility of powder fire extinguishing. It was distinguished by the presence of a third tank for two tons of powder. Accordingly, the capacity of the main water tank had to be reduced to 9450 liters. Finally, in 1986, the base model of the four-axle vehicle was upgraded and received the MAZ-7313 index, and, accordingly, the number in brackets in the name of both fire engines changed. In addition to airports, fire "Hurricanes" were used, for example, in large industrial enterprises.
Of the dozens of produced fire engines based on the Minsk Hurricanes, many still serve at airfields in various countries of the former USSR. The Museum presents an experimental modification made on the basis of AA-60 (7310)-160 in one copy at the All-Russian Research Institute of Fire Protection in Balashikha near Moscow. This fire truck does not have a rear engine compartment, it was equipped with an autonomous engine and a pump of much lower power. The pump engine was taken from a Volga passenger car, and the pump was taken from an ordinary fire engine. But this MAZ-7310 can act as a tractor for a large-capacity trailer tank, converted from a tanker. Such a machine is designed to transport more than two dozen tons of water and foam, which allows you to fill the tanks and pumps of other fire trucks (on the chassis of ZILs, Urals, KAMAZ trucks) away from water bodies and water supply. This firefighter "Hurricane" for a long time served on combat duty in one of the parts of the Balashikha region, and was used during fires of a high degree of complexity, for example, during a fire at an oil depot in Noginsk in 2005.

fire truck AC-5-40 (5337) on MAZ-5337 chassis, equipped with a fire pump PN-40 UV is designed for:
- extinguishing fires with fire extinguishing agents;
- delivery to the fire site of a combat crew, fire-technical equipment and a supply of fire extinguishing agents;
- supply of water and air-mechanical foam of low and medium expansion through pressure hoses, hand and fire monitors and foam generators when extinguishing fires.
tank truck can be used as an independent combat unit with the intake of a foaming agent from a foam tank or an external reservoir and the intake of water from a tank, from a reservoir or from a water supply network. The tank truck is designed for operation in regions with a temperate climate at an ambient temperature of minus 40 to plus 40°C.
The tank truck consists from the following main parts:
- chassis with driver's cab;
- pumping unit with a drive;

On the modified chassis are installed: a frame, a tank, a pump drive, a combat crew cabin, a vacuum system and part of the electrical equipment.
The compartments of the tank housed fire-technical equipment and electrical equipment.
tank truck equipped with a signal-loud-speaking installation "Corvette SGS-01" or "South Ural".
A fire monitor is installed on the roof of the tank.
The main job of the tank truck is to use the available equipment and accessories to supply water or air-mechanical foam to the fire until the fire is completely extinguished.
The fire pump is driven from the vehicle engine through the central power take-off gearbox "TsROM" and cardan transmission. The initial filling of the suction line and the pump when taking water from the reservoir is carried out by a vacuum system. The tank truck can perform the following operations:
Serve the foaming agent solution from the container; supply water from a cistern, reservoir or hydrant of the water supply network; work for pumping water with other tankers at a considerable distance of the reservoir from the fire site.
The electrical equipment of the tanker consists of the electrical equipment of the chassis and additional electrical equipment.
The energy consumers of the tanker are powered by 12V direct current from the on-board network of the chassis.
Fire-technical equipment on a tanker is located on the body cover and in the compartments. PTV is securely fastened with special mechanisms, clamps and other fastening elements. PTV is placed taking into account easy access and quick removal.

Vehicles today are an integral part of the fire department. After people, this is its most important element. Belarusians can justifiably be proud of their own achievements in this field.
In Soviet times, such an industry as the creation of fire equipment did not exist in the BSSR. After the collapse of the Union, the topic began "on the knee", gradually developing into a fairly powerful industry. We recall the evolution and consider manufacturers of fire equipment from Belarus.
In 1993, the Republic of Belarus adopted the "Fire Safety" program, which included a point for the creation of a tank truck on the chassis of the Minsk Automobile Plant. The military NPO "Agat" was engaged in the development of design documentation, and the production of the first prototype was carried out by the "Neman" plant in the city of Lida. During the tests, the first-born of the Belarusian fire engine industry caused a lot of criticism. "The first pancake", as usual, came out lumpy. The car did not pass the test, subsequently the cockpit of the combat crew was removed from it and the car was converted into a foamy course. As a "foam" car "serves in stock" so far.
But the creators of fire trucks, by that time already accumulated experience, did not despair. In 1995, the processing of design documentation began. As a result, 95% of this documentation has undergone radical changes. The second copy of the tanker was built at the Dzerzhinsky Experimental Mechanical Plant. The car successfully passed the tests, although this time not all the ideas of the designers received a start in life. That car, which remained the only copy, serves in Dzerzhinsk.
In the meantime, the Belkommunmash Production Association took up the production of fire equipment for forestry. We started with tanks for forestries, and then decided to design a tank truck for the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The designers who worked on the creation of the Belarusian tank truck at Agata met again at Belkommunmash. Within eight months, design documentation was developed, and in July 1998, the first show of the novelty took place. The third Belarusian fire truck on the MAZ-5337 chassis turned out to be a very successful and well-designed vehicle. It was equipped with a Rosenbauer NH-40 fire pump with a capacity of 4000 l / min, or 66 l / s. The capacity of the water tank was 4700 liters, the foam tank - 450 liters.
"Belkommunmash" to this day makes fire engines, although this activity is not particularly advertised. Why dont know. "Belkommunmash" fire trucks turn out to be very good, structurally elaborated, made of good materials and even beautiful in their own way. However, in the center of public attention are trolleybuses, trams or electric buses, which are especially fashionable now. Just know that in addition to public transport, Belkommunash also creates fire equipment.
The Brest company STiM is very well known in professional circles. The company's motto is "We know everything about road markings". The company deals with everything related to road marking equipment and technologies. We have our own production of marking machines.
But, probably, few of the current employees of the company remember that a fire truck was made here in 2006. The fire tanker ATs-3.15-40 became the "first pancake" in the fire theme of STiM. The tank was not very successful, but STiM entered the history of the Belarusian fire engine industry. The only copy built remained to serve in Brest.
Minsk LLC "Midivisana" has been designing and manufacturing vans for more than five years: isothermal, commercial, rotational, repair. The products of "Midivisana" in Belarus are now well known under the trademark "Lyubava". Once upon a time, the enterprise was almost a "garage-cooperative" manufacturer of simple "booths", but today it is a well-equipped production facility that produces very high-tech products.
Fire fighting equipment is not the company's specialization, but at least one model of a fire tank truck was created here.
The MAZ-Kupava plant is a recognized master in the manufacture of van bodies for any purpose on any chassis. There is also experience in manufacturing special vehicles for the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
As an example, we show an ATS technical service vehicle with a KS 5225-01 body on a MAZ 631705-370 chassis. In fact, this is a mobile repair shop for fire equipment. In the passenger compartment there are three seats with seat belts, a filing cabinet. A workbench with a vice, drilling and grinding machines, a tool cabinet, a lathe, a niche for a generator with an installed generator, compartments for gas cylinders are installed in the locker and tool compartment. A hydraulic manipulator is mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
The Minsk-based InterRakurs-Plus was once just a dealer of the Russian Pozhtekhnika plant, but in the process of "evolution" it became a separate manufacturer that produces fire trucks of its own design. A feature of the "interracursian" machines is that the combat crew cabin looks like a single whole with a standard chassis cabin, but at the same time these are two independent structures. The cab of the truck rises while the CBD stays in place.
Fire articulated lifts are made in Vitebsk. The local enterprise "Vitstroytekhmash" is a prominent player in the market of building hydraulic lifts. The manufacturer claims that it is the only machine-building plant in the CIS that provides a conveyor-type assembly with the ability to produce up to 45 models of lifts per month.
Fire articulated lifts are a higher class of equipment. They mastered it, however, using a large number of imported parts. In the production of working equipment, materials and components from such European manufacturers as Oleo Meccanica Industriale Componenti S.r.l (Italy), Comer Industries S.p.A. (Italy), Sandern Schneid-und Umformatechnik (Germany), Badestnost (Bulgaria), Galli Erio SRL (Italy), MP Filtri (Italy), Hydraulfunktion AB (Sweden).
The 24-meter articulated hoist AKP-24(5337А2) is the result of cooperation between Belarusian and Polish manufacturers of fire fighting equipment. Built by Fabryka Maszyn BUMAR-Koszalin. But the installation of the superstructure and the preparation of the chassis was carried out by the Belarusian SOOO "Plant of Modern Fire Equipment" from Minsk. A compact lift for urban conditions is already massively "in service" with the Ministry of Emergencies. There are a number of other interesting fire engines in the range of the plant.
The undisputed leader of the Belarusian fire and automotive industry is Pozhsnab SOOO from Borisov. Once a small manufacturer, and now a significant player in the market not only in Belarus, but also in Russia. "Pozhsnab" began as a trading company in the "fire" direction, at one time thinking about its own production. We started with the installation of equipment in the bodies of other manufacturers, then we began to assemble tank trucks ourselves. Today, tanks manufactured by Pozhsnab can be found in almost every fire station in Belarus.
The production program includes not only tank trucks, but also almost all variants of special fire and rescue vehicles: foam and powder extinguishing vehicles, combined fire extinguishing vehicles, airfield, staff, smoke exhaust vehicles, equipment for diving and rescue service and much more, dozens of options. "Pozhnab" is not only the leader of the domestic market, but also a significant player in foreign markets. A lot of Borisov fire trucks serve in Russia, there are even in Turkmenistan.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations itself has been the official certified manufacturer of fire equipment for several years. In each region, since the Soviet years, there have been powerful fire-technical centers (PTC), read - repair enterprises. They overhauled equipment there, and over time, proven technologies made it possible to design and manufacture fire engines from scratch. Today, all PTCs in all regions of Belarus are certified manufacturers, each has its own international WMI code.
But that's not all. At various times, both the Minsk Motor and Bicycle Plant and the Minsk Tractor Plant were engaged in fire fighting equipment. MMVZ made tricycles for firefighters, and MTZ made special mine fire vehicles and special fire equipment for forestries. It is also noteworthy that MAZ produces its own two-row cabins for fire trucks.
Have you noticed that in Belarus it is almost impossible to find an old fire engine ZIL? And, probably, already in each fire station of the Republic of Belarus there will be at least one Belarusian-made vehicle. Most of the large parts are equipped with Belarusian equipment.
