| Japan belongs to
the most developed countries on earth. This fact is also reflected by
the technology which is being used by the Fire Department. Not
only has Japan his own car industry, but the Japanese are so far the
only ones who use satellites and robots for fire fighting tasks. Even
though Morita ist the "Number One" producer of fire fighting
vehicles in Japan, Magirus was able to deliver several ladder trucks to
the Fire Department of the city of Tokyo. Even in Japan the 30 m ladder
truck represents the major rescue vehicle followed by 40 m and even 52 m
ladder trucks. Even though the american influence especially by pumpers
can not be overseen, there is no US-built truck on duty nowadays. In
addition, both the european made helicopters as well as the fleet of fire boats are worth a visit! |
