Water tank fire trucks play a core role in firefighting and rescue, which can be summarized into the following three categories:
1、 Core fire extinguishing function of water tanker
Extinguish general material fires
Directly utilizing the water source stored in the vehicle mounted water tank (usually with a capacity of 5-13 tons) 36, using high-pressure water pumps to drive water guns or cannons to extinguish ordinary solid material fires (such as building and warehouse fires).
Auxiliary fire extinguishing for oil fires
When combined with foam fire extinguishing equipment, foam can be sprayed to cover the surface of oil combustibles to help put out gasoline, diesel and other flammable liquid fires.
2、 Water tank truck water supply and water delivery support
Independent water supply
Equipped with a large capacity water tank, it can directly provide firefighting water to the fire scene without relying on external water sources.
Water source relay guarantee
In water scarce areas or large fire scenes, assume the role of a "mobile water source station": draw water from rivers, fire hydrants, and other water sources to provide continuous water supply for other fire vehicles or firefighting equipment;
Support long-distance water supply to ensure uninterrupted frontline firefighting operations.
3、 Multi functional rescue support for water tankers
Equipment and personnel transportation
Carrying firefighting equipment (such as water guns, water cannons, and demolition tools) and transporting firefighters quickly to the fire scene.
Low pressure pump type is suitable for special scenarios: conventional fire fighting and basic foam injection;
Medium and high pressure pump type: support long-distance water supply, fire extinguishing in high-rise buildings, and can extinguish electrical fires or smoke exhaust through spray water.
Comprehensive rescue capability
Some car models integrate lighting systems, dismantling tools, and communication equipment to assist in post disaster cleaning, personnel search and rescue tasks.
Main application scenarios of water tanker trucks
Fire type: solid material fire, initial oil fire, electrical equipment fire (spray mode);
Special environment: Water supply transportation in water scarce areas, mobile firefighting in narrow streets and alleys (with flexible vehicle bodies);
Rescue scenarios: Comprehensive emergency rescue of residential buildings, factories, mines, and traffic accident sites.
Summary: Water tank trucks and fire trucks have become the fundamental backbone of the fire protection system, especially in urban firefighting and special environmental rescue, due to their independent fire extinguishing with their own water source, remote water supply support, and multi-functional rescue adaptability.
