HOWO 22T water foam CAFS fire fighting truck

Fire trucks commonly known as fire rescue vehicles or fire mobile equipment, which are special vehicles used to fight fires and various emergency rescue tasks. According to the differences in functional configuration, this type of professional equipment can be divided into multiple functional categories, mainly including HOWO water pump fire trucks with high-pressure sprinkler systems, HOWO CAFS fire fighting truck with water foam mixing system, Howo ladder fire trucks equipped with liftable rescue platforms, and HOWO rescue fire fighting vehicles equipped with special emergency devices. All the brand newly designed rescue equipment is usually deployed in urban fire command centers or grassroots fire stations, and is operated by firefighters with professional qualifications to quickly reach the disaster site through the emergency lane to carry out rescue.

From the perspective of appearance characteristics, fire fighting trucks generally use highly recognizable bright red paint, and this color choice is due to its outstanding visual warning effect. It is worth noting that in specific application scenarios, some special fire engines will use bright yellow paint to enhance environmental adaptability, also can be customized as Blue, Gray, etc. All fire trucks from POWERSTAR are legally equipped with a multi-band pillow LED light and Siren system, including rotating warning lights and high-decibel pneumatic sirens to ensure road priority when performing tasks.

From a professional design and definition, the fire truck is essentially a special operation platform that integrates fire fighting equipment, CAFS system for fire extinguishing, life detection instruments, demolition tool sets and emergency rescue tools. As the core equipment of the modern fire fighting system, this type of mobile fire fighting facility not only undertakes the key function of initial fire control, but also is an important carrier for implementing three-dimensional rescue. Its equipment configuration standards strictly follow the national fire fighting technical specifications, covering more than multiple types of emergency rescue modules such as self-contained breathing apparatus, high-pressure water cannon systems, and casualty transport equipment, forming a comprehensive emergency rescue system integrating fire fighting, rescue and first aid.

Sinotruk HOWO CAFS Fire fighting truck also known as a fire engine rescue truck, is a vehicle designed and manufactured to be used by firefighters as needed, equipped with water foam CAFS fire extinguishing system, various types of firefighting equipment or extinguishing agents, and used by firefighting forces for firefighting, auxiliary firefighting or fire rescue. Howo fire engine mounted with compressed air foam systems (CAFS) have been around for many years, and while some departments champion their advantages and effectiveness over traditional pump and water systems, the use of CAFS around the country seems to have peaked. Which have the designed drawing as below showing:

While compressed-air foam systems CAFS have their roots in wildland fire operations from HOWO 4x4 fire truck, HOWO 6x6 fire engine, HOWO 8x8 fire tenders, the technology has proved to be a revolutionary breakthrough in structural firefighting. Below details showing the advantages of found in deploying CAFS for the structure fire rescue.

Improved initial-attack capability: Using CAFS system on HOWO fire trucks, the fire-stopping effectiveness of first-arriving fire scene resources can increases up to five times. In some fire situations, the use of CAFS has reinvented the limits of what a given total water supply and water foam delivery rate can do. Rather then protecting exposures and letting a fire burn unhindered, CAFS often is successful in darkening the main body of a large fire.

Reduced fire scene rescue cycle time: Fire-scene cycle time means when the fire apparatus arrives on scene at a fire extinghishing working when the units return, available for the next fire, which is more than an important statistic. For firefighter personnel who directly engage in fire combat, exposure to heat and toxic products of combustion is reduced, thereby lessening stress and risk of injury.

Reduced water usage volume: Applying compressed air foam system CAFS, the total water supply and usage volume required to extinguish a fire is reduced to as little as one third compared with applying water alone. This also carries through to exposure protection. CAFS system clings well to vertical fire exposures, which means less water is wasted from runoff during exposure protection operations. In rural areas where water supplies are scarce, if exposure-protection applications are needed, more water remains available for offensive fire attack.

Increased area for safety and reduced smoke and steam: CAF streams have greater reach than water or nozzle-aspirated foam fire streams. This provides greater standoff distances from fire hazards and greater stream penetration into structures, which translates into increased crew safety. In addition, hose lines filled with compressed-air foam are filled with about 30% air by volume. This makes them lighter and easier to advance through a structure during an interior attack, reducing stress on the attack team. During extingushing fire attacks inside house, the application of CAFS preserves the thermal balance and leaves minimal smoke and steam in the atmosphere. Interior visibility is excellent and the attack team never loses sight inside the room. Firefighters are not driven to the floor by the moisture cloud penetrating their turnout gear, which they typically experience during conventional water application through a fog nozzle.

This compressed air foam truck PT5310GXF is build based on HOWO 8x4 truck chassis, which loaded with 18 tons of water and 4 tons of high-expansion foam, also matched designed with Compressed Air Foam System CAFS. The fire engine has the characteristics of low water consumption, strong foam fire-fighting penetration, minimal re-ignition, high fire-fighting efficiency, and long foam range. High-rise buildings, oil and other fires have strong practicality.
