At the Coimbatore Airport on Saturday, water leaps out of a state-of-the art fire fighting unit acquired from Austria and covers nearly 300 ft. The Austria-made crash fire tender (brand name Rosenbauer) demonstrates its prowess in fighting from a safe distance a blaze in aircraft. This was part of a drill to mark the Fire Services Day and the start of Fire Services Week observance. Airport Director K. Peter Abraham; Central Industrial Security Force Deputy Commandant Pushkar Parashar; Airport Deputy General Manager Jeena George; Officer-in-Charge of Fire Sector B. Ganesh; and Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services Assistant Divisional Fire Officer Krishnamurthy; were present.. The demonstration was to point out that with a 40-member fire fighting unit and the crash fire tenders, the airport was capable of tackling a major fire both in the terminal or in an aircraft, officials said. A smoke chamber, which would simulate a situation for training the airport's fire force personnel in swift evacuation, was inaugurated. Mr. Abraham has also allocated space near the residential quarters for stationing EMRI's 108 ambulance. This will shift passengers under medical emergencies to hospitals in the city. The crash fire tender stole the show at the demonstration on Saturday. (The Coimbatore Airport has three of them, each costing Rs.3.5 crore). Each can hold 10,500 litres of water and 1,300 litres of aqua film forming foam. The foam is handy in putting out an oil fire. Officials explained that in case of an oil fire, water would not help in putting out the blaze quickly. The density of oil is less than that of water. Because of this, oil remains on top and sustains the blaze. The foam forms a film over the oil and kills the blaze by cutting oxygen to it. In fire services parlance, this is called blanketing the fire. This is very useful because any typical incident on an aircraft is mostly oil fire. The chasis of the fire tender has defence nozzles that spray water to put out grass fire on the route to the main blaze area. This prevented the fire fighting unit from catching fire. This was also demonstrated during the drill on Saturday. From turning the ignition on, the crash fire tenders can reach a speed of 80 km in 20 seconds.

Go to 2.00- on this vid, verver seen this before. FORCE Emergency vehicle, looking pretty tidy IMO.

Ahmedabad: As part of a plan to meet the international standards for fire fighting at different airports of the country, Sardar Vallabhbhai International Airport, Ahmedabad has received four new state-of-the-art fire-fighter and rescue vehicles from the Airports Authority of India. The total cost of these vehicles amounts to Rs16 crore, with each vehicle costing Rs4 crore.

Similar vehicles have been provided to the Mumbai and Delhi airports, while the remaining airports across the country will get them in the coming months.

According to airport officials, these vehicles arrived at the fire department on Wednesday. The vehicles have been made in Austria by a leading fire-fighter and rescue vehicle manufacturing company of the world, Rosenbauer, and supplied by its Indian partner, Bharatiya Vehicles and Engineering Ltd (BVEL).

These fire fighters are also called automatic transmission vehicles and have a number of modern features. According to the joint director of BVEL, Gaurav Bhartiya, these are the latest-generation vehicles fitted with modern equipment for fire-fighting and rescue operations at airports.

Each vehicle has a capacity to carry 10,000 litres of water and 1,300 litres of foam at a time, which is much more than that of the six old vehicles owned by the Ahmedabad airport as of now. The unique feature of these vehicles is that it can be be handled by just one driver.

According to Bhartiya, the vehicles are fully computerised and work like fighter planes during crises. Just as a fighter plane can fire thousands of bullets through triggers, these vehicles are also equipped with similar manoeuvring handles or triggers which can throw water in 270 degree area up to 85 metres away and at a speed of discharging 6000 litres of water in a minute. The triggers are attached with pipes, which are set on the roof of the vehicles.

Even though these vehicles can be handled by just one driver, five more people can sit in their cabins. They can cover the three-km runway in just 45 seconds.

Ahmedabad airport has around 100 employees in its fire department and they are being trained to use this vehicle. An engineer from Austria, Ronald Mark, is training them. Airport officials said that the vehicles have been supplied as part of a plan to meet the international standards of fire safety, as set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

TO GO WITH India-fire-FOCUS by Phil Hazlewood Mumbai Fire Brigade staff wearing the old (L) and the new uniform (R) pose for a photograph at the Colaba Fire station in Mumbai on March 8, 2010. In their plumed helmets, dark blue tunics with shiny brass buttons, trousers and rubber gumboots, Mumbai's firefighters cut distinctive figures as they ride the streets on red engines. But the time has now come for them to hang up the uniforms whose design has remained unchanged for nearly 100 years to meet the demands of 21st century firefighting.

Ashok Leyland Fire Engines looks good.

Even the Tata Fire Engines also looks good.

They had old looking Fire Engines before made on Ashok Leyland Comet platform:

^^ a definite step up. I wonder though why Kerala have gone for this design- looks more like an airport rescue tender than a city fire .
