The reporter learned from the Tianjin Port Fire Brigade that the "elevated platform fire truck" purchased by the Tianjin Port Group with an investment of 5.35 million yuan arrived at the Fire Brigade of the Tianjin Port Public Security Bureau recently and was put into use. This is the first high-rise fire fighting and rescue fire truck introduced by the Tianjin Port.
The working height of the vehicle is 54 meters, it can rotate 360 degrees, carries 2.5 tons of water and 0.45 tons of foam, and has an effective range of 70 to 80 meters. It has dual functions of high-rise fire fighting and rescue. Before the vehicle arrived at the port, the Fire Brigade of the Tianjin Port Public Security Bureau sent five technical backbone staff to the manufacturer for a one-week concentrated training on vehicle efficiency, operation, maintenance and other knowledge and skills. After the completion of vehicle procedures and the on-duty personnel's proficient mastery of vehicle control skills, the vehicle will be put into formal service soon. The allocation of new type of fire trucks will help to improve and optimize the level of fire equipment in the Tianjin Port area and effectively respond to various emergency rescue operations.
