Historical background and application

The PMZ-2 fire truck, built on the ZiS-5 truck chassis, served in the Soviet Union from the late 1930s, with production starting just before the outbreak of World War II. Initially, these vehicles were delivered mainly to the military fire-fighting units of the Red Army Air Force, large garrisons, and municipal fire departments. During the war, due to limited production of ZiS-5 chassis, PMZ-2 units were also mounted on ZiS-6, ZiS-42, and American Studebaker US6 chassis supplied under Lend-Lease.
These vehicles saw use during World War II (1939–1945) and throughout the postwar period, until the mid-1950s.
