Italian term or phrase: CARRELLO LANCIA SCHIUMA A M.E.
Obviously a trailer-mounted firefighting foam hose jet thingy, but it's the "A M.E." that's got me... (note that it is not A.M.E. but "a M.E.", i.e. the preposition "a")
I'm fairly sure it's an Italian abbreviation, not an English one.

Portable foam branchpipe (flanged version for stationary plants) mixture fed (water+foam liquid) normally used in fast operations on medium-small fires of any origin (liquid, solid or gas combustion) where considerable foam is needed for area flooding. Trained personnel is particularly required for ME branchpipe employment, the physical nearness of the operator to the fire being necessary due to its limited throwing length.
