Abstract: A firefighting apparatus comprising a controller, and a hydraulic pump driven by a power-take-off and operable to supply a hydraulic fluid under pressure. A water pumping subsystem is powered by the hydraulic fluid and operable to supply water under pressure to a conduit, wherein a flow rate of water is substantially regulated by controlling the hydraulic fluid input to the water pumping subsystem. A chemical foam subsystem is powered by the hydraulic fluid and operable to inject foam at a predetermined flow rate into the conduit, wherein the flow rate of the foam is substantially regulated by controlling the hydraulic fluid input to the chemical foam subsystem. An electrical power generator subsystem is powered by the hydraulic fluid and operable to generate electrical power, wherein the frequency and voltage of the generated power is substantially regulated by controlling the hydraulic fluid input to the electrical power generator subsystem.

Abstract: A motor and generator coupling device including a coupler having a generally cylindrical configuration. The coupler has an inner end and an outer end. The outer end has three studs extending outwardly therefrom. The three studs are dimensioned and are aligned for extending within three holes within a drive disc hub of a generator. A circular flange is secured to an outer wall of the generator and is disposed over the inner end of the coupler. A hydraulic motor is secured to the circular flange in communication with the generator.
