Dongfeng Water Tank Fire Fighter Firefighting Engine Rescue Firetruck Truck

• Dongfeng fire trucks are among the most common firefighting vehicles in Asia and Africa, built on the heavy-duty chassis of the Dongfeng Motor Corporation (one of China’s "Big Four" automakers). They are widely used due to their cost-effectiveness and versatility, ranging from small town pumpers to massive industrial foam tankers.

  Engine: Usually powered by Dongfeng-Cu mmins (DCEC) diesel engines ranging from 140 HP to 375 HP.
  Pump Performance: Fire pumps (often CB10 series) typically provide a flow rate of 30L/s to 60L/s at 1.0 MPa pressure.
  Fire Monitor (Cannon): Roof-mounted cannons can reach distances of 50m to 80m (water) and 45m to 70m (foam).
  Crew Cab: Most models use a "double-row" cab, allowing for a driver + 5 firefighters (2+4 seating).

  Chassis Durability: Dongfeng chassis are known for being rugged and easy to maintain, with spare parts readily available globally.
  Corrosion Resistance: Modern tanks are often treated with internal anti-corrosion coatings or made from stainless steel to prevent rust from stagnant water.
  Modular Storage: Compartments are fitted with aluminum alloy rolling shutters and adjustable shelving for hoses, axes, and breathing apparatus (SCBA).

  Fire Engine: The standard term in British English (UK, Ireland, and often Australia/New Zealand). In the U.S., an "engine" specifically refers to a truck that pumps water, while a "truck" refers to one with a ladder.
  Fire Appliance: The formal, technical term used in the UK and Australia to describe any mobile firefighting vehicle.
  The Rig: A common "insider" slang term used by firefighters in North America to refer to their assigned vehicle.
  Firewagon: A more traditional or historical term, still occasionally used in literature or to describe older apparatus.

  Pumper: A truck focused on carrying hoses and a large pump to move water from a hydrant.
  Ladder / Aerial: A truck with a large, extendable ladder (it often doesn't carry water).
  Quint: Short for "quintuple." A hybrid truck that does five jobs: pump, water tank, hose, aerial ladder, and ground ladders.
  Tender (or Tanker): A "mobile hydrant." These are massive trucks that just carry thousands of gallons of water to rural areas.
  Tiller: A very long ladder truck that requires two drivers (one in the front and one at the very back to steer the trailer).
  Brush Truck / Wagon: A smaller, 4x4 vehicle designed for off-road grass and forest fires.
  Squad / Rescue: A truck that usually carries tools (like the "Jaws of Life") rather than water.

  Spanish: Camión de bomberos
  French: Camion de pompiers (or Fourgon d'incendie)
  German: Feuerwehrauto (General) or Löschfahrzeug (Technical)
  Italian: Autopompa

• Body Structure: Often constructed with a welded frame of high-quality square pipes (main structure) and high-strength aluminum alloy profiles for the equipment compartments.
• Equipment Compartments: Roll-up shutters (aluminum alloy) provide easy access to fire hoses, nozzles, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) cylinders, axes, hydraulic tools, and other essential equipment.
• Electrical System: Includes long-row LED warning lights, sirens, and specialized communication equipment.
• Control System: Features a user-friendly control panel in the pump room, often with intelligent PLC electronic control for the fire system functions.

The Dongfeng KR Foam Dry Powder Fire Fighting Truck is a specialized vehicle designed to handle complex and high-risk fire emergencies by utilizing a combination of extinguishing agents.

Its application areas and the types of fires it is designed to combat include:

The combined fire-fighting agents (foam and dry powder) make the truck ideal for large, specialized, and high-risk environments where water alone is insufficient:

• Petrochemical and Oil & Gas Facilities: Refineries, chemical plants, oil depots, petroleum storage facilities, and gas processing areas.
• Industrial and Manufacturing Sites: Large factories, industrial parks, and areas that handle various flammable materials.
• Ports and Docks: Facilities dealing with the loading, unloading, and storage of flammable cargo and fuels.
• Airport and Aircraft Hangars: Used for rapid intervention and tackling fuel-related aircraft fires.
• Municipal and Public Security Fire Brigades: For extinguishing large-scale oil fires and general material fires in cities and high-risk zones.

The combination of foam and dry powder provides versatility across multiple fire classes:

• Class B Fires: Flammable liquids (e.g., gasoline, oil, paint, diesel, solvents). Dry powder suppresses these fires by interrupting the chemical chain reaction.
• Class C Fires: Flammable gases (e.g., propane, butane, natural gas) and fires involving energized electrical equipment.
• Class D Fires (with specialized powder): Combustible metals (e.g., magnesium, potassium, sodium, aluminum).
• Class A Fires (with multi-purpose dry powder): Ordinary combustibles (e.g., wood, paper, textiles).

• Class A Fires: Ordinary combustibles (e.g., wood, paper). Foam provides a cooling effect and smothers the fire.
• Class B Fires: Flammable liquids (hydrocarbon and polar solvent types). Foam works by forming a blanket over the liquid surface, smothering the fire, and preventing the release of flammable vapors.
