More Information
Summary:A firefighting truck and system incorporating an articulated joint and large diameter tyres which allows for far more manoeuvrability than standard vehicles of the same size; a system whereby firefighters can direct water and foam in multiple directions simultaneously while operating in a fire resistant area created by additional sprinklers; and a platform which allows for the evacuation and transport of fire victims. L'invention concerne un camion et un système de lutte contre l'incendie incorporant une charnière articulée et des pneus de grand diamètre qui permettent une bien plus grande maniabilité que des véhicules classiques de la même taille ; un système grâce auquel des pompiers peuvent diriger de l'eau et de la mousse dans de multiples directions simultanément en agissant dans une zone résistante au feu créée par des gicleurs supplémentaires ; et une plate-forme qui permet l'évacuation et le transport de personnes victimes d'incendies.
