An integral body and frame (3) for rescue vehicles (1), in particular fire fighting cars, accommodates rescue and/or fire extinguishing devices, and if required fire extinguishing media and/or pumps for fire extinguishing media in several boxes or compartments (27, 28) accessible from the outside through various door arrangements (34). The integral body and frame (3) has a horizontal bearing plate (12) with a substantially U-shaped or hat-shaped cross-section in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (11) of the vehicle. At least three transverse bearing elements (16 to 18) mounted on the horizontal plate (12) perpendicularly thereto are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis (11) of the vehicle and project towards a supporting surface (19) over the length (20) of the legs (21) of the U-shaped cross-section of the horizontal bearing plate (12). The transverse bearing elements (16 to 18) and the horizontal bearing plate (12) are formed by at least one panel-shaped element.
