Fire truck
Fire truck, also known as fire truck, refers to the design and manufacture of suitable fire-fighting equipment according to needs Vehicles used by team members and equipped with various fire-fighting equipment or fire-extinguishing agents are used by fire-fighting forces to extinguish fires, assist fire-fighting or fire rescue. Fire departments in most countries, including China, also use them for other emergency rescue purposes. Fire trucks can transport firefighters to disaster scenes and provide them with a variety of tools to perform disaster relief tasks.
Modern fire trucks are usually equipped with steel ladders, water guns, portable fire extinguishers, self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, demolition tools, first aid tools and other equipment. Some are also equipped with water tanks, water pumps, foam fire extinguishing devices and other large fire-extinguishing equipment. . Fire trucks in most areas are red in appearance, but in some areas fire trucks are yellow in appearance, as are some special fire trucks. Fire trucks are usually equipped with alarm bells, sirens, lights and strobe lights on the top. Common types of fire trucks include water tank fire trucks , foam fire trucks , dry powder fire trucks, remote water supply fire trucks, elevated fire trucks, ladders, aerial fire trucks, etc.
The world's first recorded fire truck was commissioned by the city of Augsburg, Germany in 1518 and made by the metal craftsman Antney Blattner. Little is known about the details of the fire truck. According to the book "History of Craftsmanship in the City of Augsburg", this fire truck was formed by mounting a large lever-operated water pump on the car. Its power is drawn by horses.
In 1666, a fire broke out in London, England. The fire burned for four days and destroyed 1,300 houses, including the famous St. Paul's Church. Some medieval buildings were wiped out in the fire. People began to pay attention to the fire protection work in the city. Soon, the British invented the world's first hand-cranked water pump fire truck and used a water hose to put out fires.
In 1673, Del Heiden of Amsterdam, Netherlands invented a soft water pipe made of leather for fire extinguishing. In 1721, Richard Nesham of England invented a wheeled fire extinguisher that was more efficient than flexible water pipes.
In 1829, a fire truck powered by a steam engine appeared in London. The inventor was steam engine engineer John Braithwaite. But this kind of vehicle still has to be pulled by horses, and is equipped with a coal-fired fire water pump at the rear, equipped with a soft hose and driven by a 10-horsepower twin-cylinder steam engine.
The world's first professional fire brigade was established in New York, USA in 1835, with only 4 people at the beginning. They receive an advance salary and specialize in firefighting work. The following year, the fire brigade grew to 40 people. Later it was named "Fire Police" and included in the order of city police.
At the car exhibition held in Versailles, France in 1898, the Gambier Company of Lille, France exhibited the world's earliest firefighting vehicle, although it was very primitive and imperfect.
In 1901, the firefighting vehicle produced by the Loyal Kalidi Company of Liverpool, England, was adopted by the Liverpool City Fire Brigade. In August of the same year, this firefighting vehicle was dispatched for the first time. The driver, George Bechtel, started moving the car before all the firefighters got on board. Due to the slow speed of the car, the firefighters who had not gotten into the car caught up from behind and jumped into the car. When the fire truck arrived at the fire scene, even the subsequent fire carriages also arrived. It is said that when it walked, it continued to fire back, so people nicknamed it "Fart Arnie".
In the 1920s, fire trucks that relied entirely on internal combustion engines began to appear. The structure of the fire truck at this time was simple. Most of them were modified on the existing truck chassis. A water pump and additional water tank were installed on the vehicle. A fire ladder, fire ax , explosion-proof light , fire hose were hung on the outside of the vehicle body. .
Looking back at history, the world's earliest fire brigade originated from the Northern Song Dynasty, which shows that more than a thousand years ago, although there were no fire engines at the time, Chinese residents had fire prevention and awareness.The fire brigade of the Northern Song Dynasty was more than 600 years earlier than the London fire brigade in 1666, and more than 800 years earlier than the full-time fire brigade of New York in 1853. There are five fire trucks in the
photo, which are the minimum equipment of the fire brigade. There are five models in the fire rescue category. There are water tank fire trucks, ladder fire trucks , foam fire trucks, fire equipment trucks, and simple rescue trucks. The performance of these fire trucks is very strong. Of course, despite the excellent quality, the cost of these fire trucks is also relatively high. An imported German original Mercedes-Benz fire truck is worth 7 million yuan, while the subway fire truck introduced in Beijing in August 2006 It adopts Mercedes-Benz chassis, each worth more than 10 million yuan.
