Someone break this word down for me

Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug

(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)

help giving exterminating groups’ ~~vehicle~~ drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)

Das Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug der Feuerwehr […]

The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department

Es transportiert Feuerwehrleute, Leitern, Werkzeuge, Schläu[che…]

It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses

Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top. Feuerwehrfahrzeug (fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word.

"Feuerwehrfahrzeug" is still too many letters 😮‍💨
