Long-distance water transmission vehicles (mobile fire trucks), hose extension vehicles

Long-distance water transmission vehicles (mobile fire trucks)

We operate as fire brigade to cope with disasters such as fires around Yokohama Station and Minato Mirai district. In addition, since it is equipped with an A-1 class pump with higher pump performance than a normal pump car, water is taken from the sea and rivers, and in cooperation with a hose extension car, a large diameter hose (150 mm diameter) It has the power to send up to 4,000 liters of water per minute to a distant disaster site. We also respond to fires that occur in areas where water is expected to be scarce or in densely populated wooden areas where a large amount of water is required.

Hose extension car

In the event that fire hydrants become unusable, such as during an earthquake, or fires that occur in densely populated wooden areas where a large amount of water is required, we will cooperate with long-distance water transmission vehicles. A large-diameter hose that can be extended and collected while driving, can respond quickly to disasters. In the event of a disaster, a long-distance water transmission vehicle draws water from water sources such as the sea and rivers, and is mounted on the hose extension vehicle. By extending the diameter of 150 mm, 1,800 meters in length), the water required for fire extinguishing can be sent far away.
