Welcome to the new Incident Command Vehicle for the Brussels, Union, Gardner (BUG) Fire Department.
The custom ride is designed to be first to respond to an incident. Not only will it handle communications and logistics; it houses a high pressure, single operator, fire suppression system that breaks down water droplets into a fine mist known as a water mist system. It works by creating tiny water droplets with a large surface area, allowing them to rapidly absorb heat from a fire and effectively extinguish it while using significantly less water than a traditional fire hose.
With the flip of a switch it also has capacity to lay down foam.
The Brussels Lions Club, local business and individuals contributed funding for this acquisition.
