Historical description:

• The PMZ-2 fire truck was developed in the Soviet Union from the second half of the 1930s. It was an answer to the growing need for fire protection of the armed forces, warehouses, and large military garrisons. The core feature of this vehicle was its versatility – the equipment of the PMZ-2 could be installed on various chassis types.
• Initially, the PMZ-2 was mounted on the popular ZIS-5 trucks, and later on ZIS-6. Due to equipment shortages during World War II, the PMZ-2 was also installed on ZiS-42 half-tracks and American Studebaker US-6 trucks.
• PMZ-2 vehicles served in both Soviet military and civilian fire brigades continuously for almost 20 years – from the early 1940s until the mid-1950s.
