So i found this pic of a theoretical firefigthing robot for use in forest fires. I can think of a few other uses as well. What do you all think, is it feasible?

The US Navy have developed/are developing one capable of carrying fire extinguishers. Of course, this bad boy will be used at sea on Naval vessels and I'm sure the idea will catch on if it hasn't already and one will be developed for dry land operations.
