FIRESTOPPER

摘要

Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue Service (FRS) hailed the first of 33 new fire appliances delivered in 2019 (pictured above) as a major investment to provide a better service to people in the county. It also signalled a move to the Scania CrewCab chassis (CP31, to be precise; the largest model). The 33 identically specced fire appliances will be rolled out to stations across Lincolnshire over the next three years. They are all 316bhp, 18 tonnes gvw Scania P 320 4×2 chassis. Meanwhile, the pumping appliance superstructure installed on the chassis was designed and manufactured by Yorkshire-based bodybuilder Angloco. It includes an 1,800-litre water tank, 100-litre foam tank and two power take-offs (PTOs), one driving the multi-pressure centrifugal main pump, rated up to 3,400 litres per minute at low pressure, the other powering an ultra-high pressure cutting extinguishing (UHPCE) system. Installed equipment includes two 54m-long, 22mm-diameter high pressure water hose reels, plus a dedicated reel for the UHPCE system. In addition, there are four ladders, extensive stowage systems, and firefighting and rescue equipment.
