Fresh equipment for fire fighters
In Germany, Stuttgart’s fire department is procuring four new Unimog vehicles for emergency management operations such as fighting forest fires.
One new addition to the fleet is a rescue vehicle based on Unimog U 323 with just 2.20 m width for use on narrow roads in forests and vineyards.
Furthermore, the fire department is acquiring two identical water tenders TLF-W and one rescue vehicle RW-HG based on the all-terrain Unimog 5023.
These four new vehicles can be used to form a tactical unit in combination with two older Unimog, the manufacturer Daimler said. 35 firefighters are currently training on the four new Unimog at the off-road testing grounds in Ötigheim for deployments in extreme off-road conditions. (ben)
