The standard Aeronautica Militare Italiana heavy crash tender was manufactured by Bergomi S.p.A. on a Perlini International chassis.
There are two versions: the 605.D Diesel-powered chassis and the gasoline-powered B.503 chassis.


Unfortunately Bergomi does not build ARFF vehicles any longer and the available literature gives only basic characteristics.

The firefighting equipment includes a 9,500 litres water tank and a 1,250 litres foam tank, a roof-mounted monitor with an output of 4,500 l/min and two side-mounted 250 l/min hose reels. Two nozzles are placed under the front bumper for self-protection.
The foam pattern of the monitor is selected by rotating a deflector at the end of the monitor in position.
