By Petlee Peter
The red eye-catching fire engine with loud ringing bell might
not be the only sign of arriving firemen anymore. Tamil Nadu
Fire and Rescue Services (TNFRS) department will soon have
motorcycles for fire fighting alongside Fire Tenders, Emergency
Rescue Tenders and Skylifters.
Fitted with state-of-the-art Water Mist equipment, the motorcycles
can have better mobility through nooks and corners of our
city and can reach the fire accident spot in a shorter time.

Reliable sources at the TNFRS revealed that a proposal to
introduce a fleet of fire-fighting motorcycles for the city fire
brigade is ready and will be submitted to the State Government
immediately after the Lok Sabha elections.
The motorcycle, mostly with 350cc engine, will have two portable
imported Water Mist technology fire equipment fitted on either sides near the rear wheel. Each equipment has the capacity of
9 litres of water mixed with Compressed Air Foam (CAFS).
“The Water Mist device will be 10 times effective than the regular ones and will effective to fight fire in the initial stages before the
bigger fire tenders reach the spot. Water mixed with compressed foam is sprayed with very high pressure and the fire is contained
with a cooling and blanketing effect,” said a senior fire officer attached to the city zone.
Apart from being compact and mobile, the device comes with a 2 kg extinguishing gun that has a spray and jet mode and uses only
70 percent less water than conventional water sprinklers.
