FIRE & RESCUE

The necessity for firefighters at an airport stems from various factors such as the presence of vehicles on the apron, aircraft refueling activities, changing weather conditions, handling dangerous goods, and addressing runway incursions, among other considerations. Successfully executing these tasks demands an exceptionally high level of training and specialized equipment.

To meet these demands and achieve our safety objectives, we have selected the Mercedes Benz 3358 from Brescia Anticendi International. With over 28 years of experience in the automotive industry, this company brings a wealth of expertise to the table. Their track record in providing reliable and effective solutions aligns seamlessly with our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and emergency response at the airport.

Boasting a carriage capacity of 10,000 liters of water and a 1,200-liter foam tank, it represents one of the latest advancements in firefighting vehicles. The entire body is constructed from non-welded aluminum, minimizing weight while maximizing resistance to corrosion. On a chassis of 9945 mm, it effortlessly accommodates a total of 10,000 liters of water and a 10,000-liter foam load. Powering this impressive vehicle is a 630-horsepower engine, propelling both the substantial load and the crew forward on their missions.

Trained Fire Brigade

In the realm of firefighting, the effectiveness of cutting-edge technology is only as impactful as the proficiency of the personnel behind it. Within our company, we pride ourselves on having a highly trained and capable crew, instilling confidence in our customers for their varied needs. Tackling continuous and demanding tasks requires a well-trained team, and our crew undergoes specialized training tailored to the specific types of aircraft within our fire protection category. This ensures their readiness to confront any ongoing challenges.

As an integral part of the firefighting equipment utilized by our personnel, they are equipped with suits featuring material strips designed to reflect heat away from their bodies. This strategic design enables them to endure even in extremely high-temperature environments. Recognizing the challenge of smoke in the firefighting process, our firefighters employ self-contained breathing apparatus to navigate through these conditions seamlessly.
