CAS 25 Škoda 706 RTHP
The CAS 25 Škoda 706 RTHP is a fire truck built on a Škoda 706 RTHP chassis with a custom body designed for firefighting operations. The vehicle is about 7.5 meters long and 2.9 meters tall, carrying a 3500-liter water tank, a 200-liter foam tank, and a pump capable of delivering 2500 liters per minute.
This vehicle dates from the Cold War era when cities needed fast, reliable machines for firefighting and emergency response. The model served communities over many years, helping to save lives and protect people.
The name CAS 25 refers to the pump capacity of 2500 liters per minute, a detail that firefighters recognize immediately. The truck shows how communities equipped their emergency services and what they valued in rapid response.
The vehicle has seating for a driver and up to seven firefighters with quick access through four doors. The hydraulic steering and modern transmission allow safe handling even when fully loaded, including on rough terrain.
The vehicle was built by two different companies: Liaz made the chassis in Jablonec nad Nisou, while Karosa built the special body in Vysoké Mýto. This collaboration shows how Czech manufacturers worked together to create equipment for emergency services.
