The Colet Jaguar has been in service in the US Air Force for about 9 years.  There's one at Langley AFB, VA, one at Shaw AFB SC, and more, too.  They have a top speed of 85 mph, which makes them a quick responder for an ARRF.  Here's an article about the one at Langley AFB:

Thanks KFD274.  Another future fire apparatus design:

"A new class of vehicle to the field of fire appliance design that is capable of reconnaissance as well as suppression will be introduced by Amatoya. As indicated by research, there is a need to develop an advanced and highly specialized light tanker which must function primarily as a reconnaissance vehicle while providing unparalleled vehicle and crew safety/survivability. It also need to maintain superior off road capabilities and possess appropriate fire suppression technology for the purpose of initial response and front line defense.

Another new concept already being developed - firefighting "grenades".

If I'm not mistaken the FIT-5 firefighting grenade has already been deployed successfully at least once upstate.
