Claim:
1. A fire hose deployment device for a firefighting robotic vehicle comprising: a wagon body having a bottom and two generally vertical sides; a front tongue coupled to the wagon body and hitched to a rear hitch of the robotic vehicle; left and right wheels coupled to the wagon; and the wagon body carrying a fire hose with a first end coupled to a nozzle on the robotic vehicle and a second end coupled to a generally stationary fluid source, the fire hose being laid and arranged accordion-style on the bottom of the wagon body, and as the robotic vehicle and the wagon travel away from the fluid source to a site of the fire, the fire hose being automatically and orderly unfolded and deployed from the wagon, enabling the robotic vehicle and wagon to reach the fire site while still being coupled to the fluid source to conduct fluid from the fluid source to be applied by the nozzle of the robotic vehicle to extinguish the fire.
