The state of the art fire extinguishing equipment in practical applications

The panorama of the EDURA fair from the perspective of a fire-engine boom jib

Dynamic presentations of the rescue operation equipment are held daily by the GIMAEX Schmitz Polska during the EDURA fair. In the open air exhibition space, right next to the A hall the fair guests can familiarise themselves with the modern fire protection vehicle and its equipment, they can also see the quad used for road-collision rescue operations and for putting out fires in the places which are difficult to be accessed by regular fire extinguishing equipment. Both the quad and the fire engine are equipped with the One Selen system which makes it possible to generate 700 litres of extinguishing agent out of 100 litters of water. The fair visitors can see themselves how the agent is generated and how great is the agent velocity when ejected from a hose. The presentations are held every hour in a special tent.

The fire brigade vehicle generates a particular interest among the fair visitors – its sliding ladder reaches out for 41 metres. The brave ones can go into the boom jib basket; the maximum load for this basket is as much as 460 kilograms. Once on the top of the 40-metre ladder, they can admire the panorama of Targi Kielce and the whole city. And there is ample of the visitors who want to enjoy this experience – there is a long queue of the exhibition guests waiting at the bottom of the jib.
