German trailer & pressure bottle

[fordflathead]

Anybody who knows what this trailer was for? The tow eye has been cut away. The pressure bottle lies nearby and has a valve and hose (no picture) and looks like a fire extinguisher. The letters R.K.M. is stamped on the neck of the bottle. I am not sure if the bottle belongs to the trailer as there are much stuff lying around on the site. Is it a trailer for airfield fire service?
