New London fire engine responding 🚨 🚒

Watch a new Mercedes-Benz Atego fire appliance responding in London. This is one of a new generation of fire appliances that were purchased by the London Fire Brigade in 2016 for their 150 year anniversary and were introduced in January 2017. The new fire engine's features are: High pressure hoses delivering twice as much water than the hoses on the previous model of fire engine which means that firefighters can tackle fires more effectively. Electronically-controlled water pumps that can be operated with a single touch of a button. A different shaped 'crew cab' which will provide improved safety and comfort for firefighters. Extra reflective battenburg markings which will improve visibility for other road users in low light. Blue 'repeater' lights on the foremost front corners of the cab to make driving through heavy city traffic easier. EURO VI engine which further reduces emission levels compared to the previous model and complies with London's forthcoming Ultra Low Emission Zone Bulky equipment - like the breathing apparatus sets, that would normally be stored behind their seats - is now being stowed in the back of the vehicle body. As well as the traditional firefighter equipment such as axes, hosereels, ladders, and a bucket; the kit on the new appliances includes: a braille identification card, portable electronic tablet with newly improved sophisticated mapping software, eye wash, a loudhailer, oxygen masks, road traffic accident cutting equipment, a seat belt cutter and traffic cones. The new fire engines carry 304 items on board. As outlined by the London Fire Brigade in this article: http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/La... The overall style and features have changed massively in comparison with the old Mercedes-Benz Atego fire engines of the London Fire Brigade as seen in this video:    • Fire engine responding - London Fire Briga...   Vehicle information: Plate: WO66 HGG Make & Model: Mercedes-Benz Atego Mk3 Year: 2017 Role/Type: Pump Ladder (Duel Purpose Ladder) Station: Euston Fire Station (A23) Organisation: London Fire Brigade Callsign: A231 Siren: Whelen Alpha Recorded: 2017
