Kazanorgsintez has got new firefighting equipment, the Tatarstan’s highest fire telescopic tower ladder Vitand APK-72 and a new tank truck.

The vehicles will replenish the fleet of the 5th Fire Brigade of the Federal Fire Service in Tatarstan. The equipment will be used both to ensure industrial safety at the facilities of Kazanorgsintez, and in case of fires and emergency situations in high-rise buildings throughout Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan.

The Vitand APK-72 tower ladder is currently the highest in Kazan and Tatarstan. It allows the firefighters to rescue people and extinguish a fire at a height of 72 metres, or up to the 22nd floor of a residential building. The ladder was made on an individual project specifically for Kazanorgsintez. Its boom extends to the maximum height in just a minute and a half. The maximum load capacity of the cradle is 500 kg. In its central part, there is a remote-controlled fire monitor capable to spray up to 3,800 litres of water per minute. It is possible to spray both water and foam.

The second vehicle, handed over on this day to the Ministry of Emergencies, is a tank truck of ST-Avto production based on KAMAZ. It holds at least 7,000 litres of water. The tanker is also equipped with a foam compound tank that holds 420 litres of foaming solution.
