Fire trucks are mainly used for fire fighting and emergency rescue, and their core functions include firefighting operations, disaster control, personnel and property rescue, etc. Modern fire trucks are also equipped with diverse professional equipment, which can respond to complex disaster scenarios such as earthquakes and landslides, and have high mobility and adaptability.
Core Function Classification
1. Fire suppression is carried out through on-board water tank, foam system or dry powder device to block combustion conditions; Equipped with high-pressure water guns, cloud ladders and other tools to achieve three-dimensional fire extinguishing, covering fire sources inside and outside the building.
2. Comprehensive emergency rescue implements demolition and support operations in disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides, and opens up rescue channels; Equipped with life detectors, hydraulic shears, and other equipment to carry out rescue operations for trapped individuals.
Functional design features: high passability chassis: adopting a full axle four-wheel drive system and large-sized tires, suitable for complex terrains such as mountains and ruins; Modular equipment integration: comes standard with digging arms, lighting systems, and multiple types of machine interfaces, allowing for quick switching of functional modules; Intelligent operation: equipped with electronic control platform and multi-directional joystick to improve response efficiency.
Taking the domestically produced XCMG K-type fire truck as an example, its top speed exceeds 90 kilometers per hour, equipped with a domestically produced power chain, and has both maneuverability and stability, reflecting the trend of the transformation of fire equipment from single fire extinguishing to multi-functional disaster relief
The main performance of a fire truck includes the following aspects:
Extinguishing capacity: The fire truck is usually equipped with a variety of fire-fighting equipment, such as water gun, portable fire extinguisher, foam extinguishing device, etc., which can put out the fire quickly and effectively. Modern fire trucks may also be equipped with water tanks and pumps to further improve firefighting efficiency.
Rescue function: Fire trucks are not only used for extinguishing fires, but also have multiple rescue functions. For example, high-altitude jet fire trucks have the ability to operate over large spans, suitable for firefighting in high-rise buildings and large-span spaces, and can achieve three-dimensional collaborative operations and ultra close point firefighting. The aerial ladder fire truck is suitable for high-altitude rescue, and its telescopic boom structure makes operation simple and quick.
Equipment configuration: Fire trucks are usually equipped with steel ladders, water guns, portable fire extinguishers, self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, demolition tools, and first aid tools. Some fire engines are also equipped with large equipment such as water tanks, water pumps and foam fire extinguishing devices to deal with different types of fires.
Applicable scenarios: Different types of fire trucks are suitable for different disaster sites. For example, water tank fire trucks are suitable for factory, community, and township scenes, with the characteristics of efficient fire extinguishing and multifunctionality. The foam fire truck is suitable for petrochemical and other special environments, while the dry powder fire truck is suitable for fire fighting of live equipment.
Technical parameters: The technical parameters of a fire truck include fuel reserves, tire pressure, battery capacity, etc., to ensure that the vehicle can operate normally in various environments. During operation, it is necessary to check whether the support legs and boom are stable, and whether the hydraulic system is operating normally to ensure safety and stability during operation.
