Returning to the scrapheap are Hot Property, the
estate salesmen who had no scrapheap ability (Ice Racers), and Rockin'
Rabble, a group of 50s loving hipsters (Amphibious Motorcycles). Their
task is to build a fire engine capable of extinguishing an inferno. There
are three trials facing the teams. First, they will have to navigate a
slalom course then rescue a kitten and deliver it back to Lisa at the start
line. The next challenge is to race up the course and put out a barbecue
fire at the baker's house. Finally, both teams have to rush up the course
and put out the bakery. All are timed trials and is a best two-out-of-three
match.
Hot Property, who have since taken a course or two in welding and fabrication, are going with a standard fire engine design. A small van will provide them with plenty of speed. They want to have two hoses...a smaller one out the back and a rotating, fixed hose (called a monitor) on the roof. The challenge will be in their size. A smaller, lighter design will make them fast but they may end up having to refill their tank, costing them valuable minutes.
Rockin' Rabble are also thinking of a normal fire
engine. They will use a big van with a huge water tank. Finding a large
van won't be a problem but it's likely to be slow, especially when weighed
down by a full tonne of water. The proper pump attached to their single
hose will most likely put out any fire they face in double-quick time but
a slow vehicle will work against them. To seal the deal, they will also
be adding some sort of foaming agent which will help smother the fire.
