Cheng Gang has formally submitted a request to Li Fanyu and Zhengxin for the research and development of fire trucks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But this R&D request does not represent the Tiancheng City Government.

The Tiancheng 4.2 fire has attracted great attention from the province, and man-made disasters aside, the equipment problems exposed during the fire in high-rise buildings are undoubtedly an important issue in front of the leaders.

First of all, if the ladder is high enough, then it can be used to evacuate the people directly from the windows on the fifth or sixth floor at the beginning of the fire, without the need to borrow a helicopter to transfer from the roof of the building.

Secondly, there is no need for firefighters to risk their lives when they enter the complex for the second time through the fourth floor, which has already been engulfed in flames. If the height of the ladder is sufficient, then it is completely possible to let the firefighters deal with it on the seventh or eighth floor in advance to prevent the fire from spreading too quickly.

It can be said that the failure of the ladder truck that night was the direct cause of the sacrifice of the seven firefighters!

And not only the 4.2 fire, the current domestic fire department used fire trucks, heavy dependence on imports has attracted the attention of senior leaders.

What does dependence on imports mean?

First of all, the price is too high!

Fire trucks can be divided into quite a few types according to the division of labor and the environment of disaster relief, and can be classified according to different standards. According to the functional classification, it can be divided into more than 20 categories, such as water tank fire truck, dry powder fire truck, foam fire truck, carbon dioxide fire truck, foam dry powder combined fire truck, lifting fire truck, ladder fire truck, climbing platform fire truck, lifting jet fire truck, lighting fire truck, smoke exhaust fire truck, water supply fire truck, etc.

But there are so many types of fire trucks, in fact, if you put aside the difference in bodywork, according to the class of the vehicle, there are actually only three types: light, medium and heavy.

Light fire trucks and medium fire trucks actually play little role in fires, and are used for command, survey, publicity, lighting and smoke exhaust, and some small ladder lifting.

These two categories can be produced by two domestic car companies, Dongfeng and Yiqi.

At present, what China really relies heavily on imports is the category with the highest technical content, which plays a major role in the fire rescue process, and is also the most expensive category - heavy fire trucks!

Heavy-duty fire trucks, in fact, refer to fire trucks with a chassis carrying capacity of more than eight tons, including heavy-duty water tanks, foam-dry powder combined use, as well as climbing platforms, ladders and lifting fire trucks.

How much does it cost to import one of these cars?

Take the Mercedes-Benz chassis now used in Amagi, the 36-meter ladder truck mounted on the German Manson Klay top, for example, the whole vehicle was delivered to the fire brigade, 3.3 million!

Does this thing cost a lot?

The Mercedes-Benz Actros traction chassis used for the chassis is about 1 million, and the hydraulic telescopic ladder tops and control system add up to 800,000.

Except for the rebates given by purchasing leaders for overseas inspections, the rest is almost all profits!

The after-sales maintenance of these import companies is generally to set up offices in some relatively large provincial capitals in China. The number of after-sales maintenance personnel and engineers is scarce, and if there is a problem with the product, the maintenance is not only long, but also the process is quite cumbersome.

However, since it is expensive and troublesome, why do domestic fire departments rush to buy imported fire trucks?

It's not because procurement leaders can take the opportunity to go abroad for inspection and eat kickbacks. Rather, it's because in the event of a fire, these heavy-duty fire trucks have a huge mission, requiring rapid deployment and response in a limited time and harsh environment.

In this way, there are very high requirements for the chassis stability of the fire truck, the reliability of the bodywork equipment and the accuracy of the control system.

Although there are such and such drawbacks, it has to be denied that at present, foreign brands have more advantages in high-tech special fire trucks. And local brands like Dongfeng Yiqi are still in the field of conventional fire trucks.

The huge demand has created the current market status quo of fire-fighting machinery and equipment. However, the more realistic situation is that because of the expensive price of imported heavy-duty fire trucks and unreasonable after-sales service, the equipment gap of heavy-duty fire trucks in China is still extremely huge!

Tiancheng City has an area of 8,500 square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million, with such an area and such a population, there is only a 24-meter and a 36-meter fire ladder truck.

To put it mildly, if two high-rise buildings are on fire at the same time, then the city fire squadron will face the embarrassing situation of having no vehicles available at the fire site.

The seriousness of the problem is evident.

But in fact, the loss of the 4.2 fire is only more than 100 million, and such a fire is not a turning point for senior leaders to face up to this problem.

More appropriately, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Before the 4.2 fire, there were not too many accidents caused by the lack of special fire-fighting equipment.

Not to mention, in just five years since 2012, because of the lack of fire ladder trucks, climbing platforms, and lifting jet fire trucks, uncontrollable fires in China abound;

In 2012, the fire in Pingcheng 4.30 Xinjiang commercial building, because the height of the fire ladder was not enough, the trapped people jumped from the sixth floor of the building to survive, resulting in the tragedy of 15 deaths.

On June 12, 2013, the high-rise of Xincheng Anyang broke the arm of the high-rise jet fire truck, resulting in the death of 2 onlookers and the serious injury of 4 people.

2.014 8.15 Teng'an County 11.11 a courier company warehouse fire, resulting in the nearby residential buildings trapped by the masses, because the platform could not reach the top of the special-shaped residential building, 53 residents were trapped in the smoke for more than three hours, the firefighters cried through the fire, and it is still mentioned by the media from time to time!

And there are many, many more such suffocating examples.

Now, the aftermath of the alarm bell of the 4.2-day fire is still deafening, and the seven firefighters who died are still heroic. It can be said that the time has come to have to change!

And Li Fanyu's troubles in the past two days have made the leaders realize that Tiancheng is not just a city that has just had a fire.

It's still a city with an advanced automotive industry!

As a result, a research and development plan was determined and handed over to Li Fanyu through Cheng Gang.

This plan, in fact, only requires Zhengxin to develop and design a ladder fire truck that can carry more than 50 meters of ladders.

But Li Fanyu smelled a considerable business opportunity in this.

When he received the R&D application, his first thought was that he felt that he should do something for the firefighters.

Fire and disaster relief work is a battlefield without guns. However, this does not mean that it does not have a real battlefield tragedy! In the sequence of China's armed police, the most sacrificed and most frequent sacrifices in peacetime are the firefighting and armed police soldiers!

It is no exaggeration to say that firefighting equipment and machinery are their guns and their armored vehicles.

It can be said that the project of fire ladder is no less than the weight of the fourth-generation tank in Li Fanyu's mind.

But on the other hand, through this incident he also smelled money!

Heavy fire trucks,

It's just a truck chassis plus a variety of tops!

Value-added ...... It's just too high!
