Fraser Fire and Rescue Ltd Demountable fire platform development

摘要

Working in collaboration with the New Zealand Defence Force, Fraser Fire and Rescue Ltd has just commenced production of a fleet of Demountable Fire Platforms (DFP's) (also known as 'PODS') following the successful field trials of a Prototype within the New Zealand Army's rugged Waiouru training camp. The Prototype Demountable Fire Platform was developed to provide the New Zealand Defence Force with a modern fire-fighting capability whilst utilising the robust 1980's era Mercedes-Benz MOG cab-chassis which are well aligned to the tough off-road conditions within which they will typically operate. The MOG/DFP 'match-up' will typically be used to respond to live-firing exercises within New Zealand Army and New Zealand Airforce operating environments - additionally they will be deployed to assist the New Zealand Fire Service as and where required.
