The Big Wind - Designed by a team of Hungarian engineers originally

 as a means of mass decontamination for Cold War-era tanks 

in the event of a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) attack, 

this fire-fighting chimera has found a surprising niche in the modern world: putting out oil well fires.
The Big Wind is one part T-34 tank and two parts MiG 21 jet engine. 

Specifically its a T-34 tank chassis with a pair of Mig 21 jet engines mounted to its roof. 

Windy needs three crewmen: a driver inside the tank to steer and stop it; 

a controller in a rear cabin at the back of the platform to run the jet engines 

and the water jets; and a fire chief who walks about 15 feet away,

 issuing orders to the two other crew members through a remote-control unit.
When the water is turned on, the six nozzles above the MiG engines unleashing

 an immense blast of water that mingles with the jet exhaust 

and becomes a ferocious spray of steam. 

The water is moving at a maximum rate of 220 gallons of water a second,

 or twice what an average U.S. household uses in 24 hours.

 (If you hooked up this machine's water pump to a typical suburban swimming pool,

 it would suck it dry in about 50 seconds.)
