Abstract
The mobile technique is an important part of the frefghting process as it allows the transfer of resources, materials and means necessary for the fre control. Usually the vehicles are specialized equipment prepared from the factory to fulfill specialized tasks. Its acquisition is usually expensive. In this work the installation of a pumping group belonging of pumping station, was evaluated on a truck to convert it into a mobile fre-fghting equipment. Due to the head and flow pump requirements were sufficient, their analysis was carried out under the NPSH criterion, which is a requirement so that cavitation does not occur in the pump and its destruction. As result, it was obtained that the analysis technique is correct. However, in the case study it was found that the use of the analyzed pumping group is not recommended for its use under certain conditions as a mobile fire-fighting technique.
