Futuristic fire engines built by a Meltham-based firm are set for service at Gibraltar Airport following a £2.5m deal. Emergency services equipment firm Rosenbauer UK is to supply four high-tech air crash trucks to the airport in early 2018.
The Panther trucks, incorporating Euro 6 engines, include a “Stinger” machine with a high reach extendable turret capable of throwing water more than 100 metres at a rate of 6,000 litres a minute. The fire engines will be stationed at the airport for fire crews to use in emergency response situations.
