Queensland Fire & Rescue Services

Compressed Air Foam Systems Worldwide Compressed air foam systems are consistently gaining momentum and acceptance throughout the fire service industry. As more and more departments across the country – and brigades from around the world turn to CAFS, it has changed the way fires are attacked, how quickly fires can be extinguished and vastly limits the damage that fires can inflict. The two articles below illustrate worldwide acceptance of compressed air foam. Faced with rainfall shortages and increasingly scarce water supply prompted the Queensland Fire and Rescue Services (QFRS) in Australia to consider implementing Waterous CAFSystems into their regular operations. When the time came to purchase two new pumper tankers, the impressive knockdown capabilities and resourceful water use of CAFS sold the QFRS on the revolutionary technology of compressed air foam systems. The QFRS recently purchased two new Type 4 pumper tankers, which are equipped with Waterous CAFSystems. Manufactured by U.K. OEM Scania, one of the two trucks will provide service in the urban/rural interface region of Brisbane City at Capalaba, while the other will service Windsor, a suburban area located west of Brisbane City. The use of Class A foam additives has complimented the overall reduction in water usage in a wide range of situations including firefighting operations in urban interface, structural and rural environments, said Shan Raffel, EngTech MIFireE and project manager for the new QFRS vehicles. CAFS is another technology that has shown to further increase the efficiency of water as an effective extinguishing agent. Over the last decade, water resources have been, and are at critical levels in South East Queensland, which is one of the impelling reasons the QFRS implemented the Waterous 140-P CAFSystem units. The consequences of climate change to the area in relation to rainfall patterns has caused a focus on sustainable solutions for the management of scarce water resources at a time when Queensland’s economy and population are expanding. In past years, the Queensland government has invested large sums of money to ensure the area’s water resources are sustainable and able to meet the current and future needs of the rapidly growing population. By dedicating funds and legislation toward water conservation, the government believes they are in no way exempt from the responsibility of providing sustainable water and have been called upon to lead by example. The governments increased responsibility and dedication has in turn led the QFRS to augment water consciousness and provide improved firefighting capabilities with more efficient knockdown by the implementation of CAFS. After implementing the new pumper tankers equipped with Waterous CAFSystem units, the QFRS received their first extensive CAFS product orientation and education courses facilitated by Keith Klassen, instruction program manager with Waterous. Based at the QFRS fire training grounds at Whyte Island and delivered over a period of two days, the courses encompassed live firefighting situations and CAFS demonstrations in structural and vehicle fires, reinforced by quality classroom time covering theory and supplemental educational materials. The education courses proved highly beneficial for the QFRS as the brigade gained an intimate understanding of CAFS and the capabilities of compressed air foam. Since the initial training from Waterous, the QFRS team has propelled their in-house training to include work with a number of firefighting organisations throughout Australia. The QFRS invited and hosted three of the most experienced educators from the Australian Capital Territory Fire Brigade (ACTFB) based in the city of Canberra to participate in education courses so as to enhance their standard operating procedures and best practices with CAFS operations. The ACTFB has four CAFS vehicles, two of which are equipped with the Waterous 500- 150-P, while the remaining two are equipped with the Waterous 100-50-DS CAFSystemsAlso providing CAFS educational situations for Air Services Australia (ASA), the QRFS conducted live burns on aircrafts and vehicles at the ASA training grounds, both of which provided successful opportunities for CAFS utilisation and observation. The QFRS additionally worked with the Redland Shire Council for urban interface fire suppression, staging controlled burns to demonstrate proper CAFS technology. Overall, the QFRS continues to drive their CAFS educational experience forward within their own brigade while extending beyond to provide educational opportunities for related organisations throughout the area. Water conservation and effective knockdown capabilities remain the powerful characteristics behind the use of Waterous CAFSystems for the QFRS. Waterous’ CAF Units Strengthen Vietnams Fire Service By Tim Schanno, Sale Manager, Asia Vietnam is one more global location where Waterous CAFS units are providing valuable fire suppression capabilities. The fire service industry in Vietnam is growing, but still in its infancy when contrasted with other parts of the globe. Truck production is far lower as compared to the USA simply because the smaller population doesn’t necessitate the volume of trucks required on the other side of the Pacific. Additional factors contributing to the level of growth within the Vietnam firefighting industry include its relatively new beginnings; as an organised service, firefighting in Vietnam began only recently around 1976. At that time, those interested in fighting fires had few pieces of equipment with which to start a department besides military vehicles that remained after the war. These factors, and other growing pains, caused the country to suffer horrible losses by fire in the early years of firefighting development. Since the 1970s, however, Vietnam has become a major player in the global marketplace. With an interest in doing business with the U.S., Vietnam’s firefighting industry provided an opportunity for Waterous to help provide an understanding of what compressed air foam can do. Last year, Waterous began working with a fire truck manufacturer and distributor in the country’s capital of Ho Chi Minh City, to promote CAFS products throughout Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. After several trips to Vietnam, representatives from the truck manufacturer visited Waterous facilities in South St. Paul, Minnesota and Peoria, Arizona. Following the initial visits to the Waterous locations, the truck manufacturer provided for firefighters from various fire services throughout Vietnam to visit the Waterous Arizona facility and participate in CAFSystems education and product orientation

The Kronenburg Company

The company started at the beginning of the 19th century with the production of bronze nozzles and pumps. After the Second World War the company began specialising in rescue and fire fighting vehicles for airports and industrial installations. Since then the company has earned worldwide renown for the efficiency and reliability of their airport crashtenders. A great variety of Kronenburg M.A.C.’s (Major Airport Crash trucks) is currently being used in many countries to provide rapid response in case of disaster. During the last half century M.A.C. fire fighting trucks have gained a solid reputation for being reliable, durable and versatile. Efficient performance in the field is the number one priority in the design process.   Other systems are currently being developed such as a pilot rescue platform and a decontamination system.’ For that reason Kronenburg aims to gather as much practical knowledge and information as possible from the experiences of the firefighters who work with their trucks on a daily basis. Because of the diverse nature of their customer base Kronenburg has developed a flexible production process which allows them to build fire fighting vehicles according to the specific demands of each end user. Recently, the company has moved all production to a new, state-of-the-art facility. This enables Kronenburg to continue with the development of their products and to keep innovating as they have been doing for more than a century. The first results of these changes can be seen at the international Interschutz convention in Leipzig, Germany. The latest model in the successful M.A.C. line of airport fire fighting trucks will be presented there. The new M.A.C. Several different versions of the new Kronenburg M.A.C. will be taken into production. Depending on the preferences of the clients the model can be based on a 4×4, 6×6 or 8×8 chassis. The GRP superstructure and cabin are fully customisable and a wide variety of fire fighting systems is available. For example water, foam, Dry Chemical Powder systems, CO2, Ultra High Pressure systems. And that is just a small selection of the available options. Other systems are currently being developed such as a pilot rescue platform and a decontamination system. Special attention was given to the design of the crew cab with regards to fast accessibility, the safety of the crew and storage room for the equipment. The self supporting body and cabin are made out of GRP (Glass fibre Reinforced Polyester). A composite material that is not only fire resistant and corrosion proof. It also weighs less than any conventional material which results in improved acceleration and maneuverability for the vehicle. And the shock absorbing nature of the highly durable material provides a safety buffer for the crew in case of any collisions. Any damage to the bodywork is easily repaired and these repairs can be done locally at relatively low costs. All cabins and superstructures have been tested and approved by official institutions and are ISO9001 approved. ‘besides their successful airport crashtenders Kronenburg is also known for being one of the leading manufacturers of mobile fire fighting equipment…’   Repair and Refurbishment In general, all Kronenburg vehicles are specifically designed to allow easy access to major components such as engines, drivelines, pumps and proportioning systems. Kronenburg also provides a Product Support Service which includes a team of engineers that stands by to fly anywhere in the world to assist the end user in case any repairs or upgrades need to be performed. Besides designing and producing new trucks Kronenburg also has a Refurbishment Program which provides midlife updates for all Kronenburg vehicles. This program has been successfully executed for several air forces and civilian airports. Trucks that have been in active service for a while are rebuild and upgraded at the Kronenburg facilities and are returned to the customer in a state that assures another 15 years of operation. For 40-60% of the costs that would be made buying a new truck the used vehicle can be completely refurbished and updated. Future Developments The company’s sales strategy is aimed at several different markets. Besides their successful airport crashtenders Kronenburg is also known for being one of the leading manufacturers of mobile fire fighting equipment for petro and chemical industries. The company offers a complete range of specialised vehicles that provide an efficient protection at industrial installations all over the world. Many Kronenburg vehicles have been adapted to the specific practices and standards of multinational oil companies and contractors. Kronenburg has also developed and produced a wide range of municipal and urban fire trucks in various sizes and configurations which are currently in active use. Fire brigades around the globe use these reliable and durable vehicles to rapidly respond to incidents in small communities as well as in the world’s largest cities. To keep up with the growing international demand for Kronenburg products the company is expanding its activities. Branches in the US and the UK are being established in order to provide better and faster service to the local markets. Kronenburg can look back on a rich history in which the company plays a leading role in the world of fire fighting and judging by the recent developments it will continue to do so for a long time
