Incipresa delivers a new state-of-the-art heavy tanker fire engine to the Almería Fire Department

This new heavy tanker truck equipped with cutting-edge technology from Incipresa aims to enhance the response capacity of the Almería fire service in emergencies. This new vehicle is not only a valuable asset for the emergency team due to its advanced technology but also due to its significant water storage capacity, capable of holding up to 7,000 litres.

The presentation of this resource was attended by the Mayor of Almería, María del Mar Vázquez, who together with María del Mar García Lorca, Councillor for the Area of ​​Security and Public Function, and Francisco Bretones, Head of the Fire Station, highlighted the functions and specialisation of the vehicle.

This vehicle joins the Fire and Rescue Service (S.E.I.S.) team, completing the renewal of this type of vehicle that is essential for the service.

This vehicle, fully equipped with a 7,000-litre tank, is equipped with cutting-edge technology and prepared to face any type of emergency. It has a fixed monitor on the roof of the body, operable from inside the cabin, capable of projecting water with an effective range of up to 64 metres and with adjustable flow.

It also includes a lighting mast extendable up to six metres, which has two 100 W reflectors, ideal for illuminating the work area in night situations. In addition, it is equipped with essential firefighting tools, such as both fixed and extendable ladders, a 66kV dielectric rescue pole, a chainsaw, a cutting disc, a portable multi-expansion foam unit, an electric positive pressure fan, and a bilge pump capable of handling 72,000 liters per hour.

The investment of almost 350,000 euros in this vehicle reflects the municipal administration’s ongoing commitment to strengthening and expanding the human and material resources available to the Fire Station, emphasizing the safety of firefighters and the people of Almería.

The service now has 19 vehicles in its fleet and the improvement of the equipment is expected to continue, with additional investments planned for the future in infrastructure and equipment, thus ensuring the maintenance of the commitment to public safety and efficiency in emergency response.
