Chemical fire engines

Chemical fire trucks are vehicles that respond to fires caused by dangerous substances such as gasoline.
Dangerous goods fires are extinguished by discharging a foamy fire extinguishing agent instead of normal water discharge with water. The chemical fire engine is loaded with water, foam fire extinguishing agent and equipment necessary for this fire extinguishing method.
The authorities have large, Type I, Type II and Special III chemical fire engines.

Large chemical fire trucks are larger than other chemical fire trucks and are equipped with an A-1-class pump device and a 2,000-liter foam liquid tank to respond to large-scale hazardous materials fires such as petroleum complexes.
The authorities have deployed large chemical fire trucks, large-scale high-altitude water discharge vehicles (large chemical high-altitude water discharge vehicles), and foam concentrate transport vehicles at two locations in the city as a unit to respond to petroleum complex fires. I am.

The chemical fire truck (Type I) is equipped with an A-2 class pump device, a 1,000-liter water tank, and a 300-liter foam liquid tank, and is mainly used to respond to vehicle fires and small chemical fires inland areas. Vehicle. Usually, it is usually placed in the fire brigade and responds to general fires.

Chemical fire trucks (Type II) are vehicles used to deal with aircraft fires and other accidents in the heliport. A-2 pump device, a water tank with a capacity of 1,300 liters, a foam liquid tank with a capacity of 500 liters, and a carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system, and is deployed at the Yokohama Heliport.

Chemical fire trucks (Special Type III) are vehicles that deal with large amounts of petroleum fires such as petroleum complexes. Equipped with an A-1 class pump, a water tank with a capacity of 1,500 liters and a foam liquid tank with a capacity of 1,200 liters.
In addition, this chemical fire engine (Special Type III) is a Yokohama City's unique vehicle that has improved the pump performance and foam emission performance of a type III chemical vehicle. Equipped with an electric hose layer, automatic hose layer lifting device, and ladder lifting device, etc. are installed.
