The 1,100-year-old Vatopedi monastery on Greece's Mount Athos is inaccessible by land and constantly threatened by forest fires. Sounds like the perfect job for a Unimog fire truck.
The famous monastery is an important orthodox pilgrimage site, isolated on the Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece. Ideally, they'd like the pilgrims to not burst into flames. This is where the Unimog U 5000-based Schlingmann firetruck provides a great service. Equipped with a 5,000-liter tank and two foam/water canons the Unimog is big enough to take on the fires of hell. Even better, it's been blessed by Abbot Archimandrit Efrem. How do you top that?
