SCDF's new emergency vehicles set to take its ops to new heights

Reaching up to 90m - as tall as a 30-storey building - the high-level articulated fire and rescue vehicle was unveiled during the Fire Safety Asia Conference and Exhibition at the Singapore Expo on Wednesday.

Plans for the two vehicles which will be deployed at Kallang Fire Station and Punggol Fire Station were revealed at the SCDF's work plan seminar more than three years ago.

Firefighters can stand on the aerial platform of the vehicle, which can hold up to 500kg, and be lifted to the necessary height.

They can fight raging fires with a handheld firefighting nozzle or a built-in water monitor - capable of discharging 3,800 litres of water a minute that draws water from fire hydrants in the vicinity.

Eagles quarterback reminds us of the power of precision

The authenticity of the quote might be debatable, but not its deliciousness. \"I ain't afraid to love a man,\" said the legendary markswoman Annie Oakley in the late 1800s, \"(but) I ain't afraid to shoot him either.\" Fortunately, when it came to her husband, she simply shot cigarettes out of his mouth using an ancient rifle.
