The PST 72047 PMZ-2 model is a faithful miniature of a Soviet fire truck, whose production began just before the outbreak of World War II. The PMZ-2 was dedicated to fire protection units in the Soviet Air Force, large garrisons, and various civilian units within the Soviet Union. The first examples were built on the popular ZiS-5 chassis, but over time – for heavier duty purposes – a limited series based on the three-axle ZiS-6 truck was produced, which adds to the collector's value of this model.

During the war, in addition to its firefighting role, these vehicles often supported the protection of ammunition depots and frontline airfields. Due to limited truck deliveries, the PMZ-2 fire kit was also mounted on other chassis, such as the ZiS-42 or Studebaker US-6. These vehicles remained in service with the Soviet fire service until the mid-1950s, making them fascinating representatives of the period from before World War II, throughout the war, and into the early postwar era.
