Altay Fire -30°C Test Equipment Fire Service "Ice Standing" Ground

The picture shows the fire-fighting officers and soldiers of the Fuyun County in the Altay region of Xinjiang were braved with cold testing equipment late at night.

Recently, temperature and snowfall continued to occur in the Altay region in northern Xinjiang. The lowest temperature in Fuyun County in the area fell to minus 30 °C on the 16th . To consolidate the foundation of winter firefighting and rescue equipment and comprehensively improve the comprehensive ability of fire fighting and rescue under severe winter conditions, the Fuyun Fire Brigade combines the impact of the current cold weather on the firefighting operations and rescue missions, closely follows actual requirements, and carries out cold weather vehicle equipment operations. The effectiveness test ensures that the troops can “pull and win” under the cold weather conditions.

The picture shows the performance of the fire brigade's test equipment in the late night cold weather.

According to reports, the performance of the vehicle equipment cold weather test, break the daytime test into a night test, and further test the performance parameters of the equipment at the lowest temperature at night. Evening 21:30, the fire brigade measured using the thermometer minimum night temperature dropped to minus 35.4 ℃.

In cold weather, fire officers and soldiers conducted a 100- meter low-flow single-line water supply and stopped water supply. They tested whether the water supply line was frozen at different time intervals, whether the water gun was able to discharge water normally, whether it was frozen, and whether the jet flow could be changed normally. 18 meters high fire trucks, rescue vehicle booms, hydraulic rescue tools, hand-held motorized pumps, fire protective clothing, battery-powered equipment and other equipment can be placed in the outdoor at different times whether the normal start, operation, on-site tester timing Conduct a tour and record the temperature and start time at that time, whether it can be lifted, hoisted, demolished, and powered normally.

The picture shows the fire fighting suit is immediately frozen on the ground after being wetted by water.

In addition, the water-carrying vehicle will be placed outside, with a box closed, the warm-up equipment such as the vehicle warmer will be turned on, whether the pump can operate normally, and the ambient temperature and the air temperature in the pump room will be recorded and the fire protection suit will be watered separately. Test the ability to wear and cold at different times, and record the ambient temperature at that time. At the same time, the interface was greased during the test of the water hose to prevent freezing of the interface due to the low temperature. On-site test personnel regularly inspected the hose line to prevent leakage and freezing. Because of the low temperatures, the fire fighting suits were frozen immediately after being wetted and stood upright on the ground.

The night's temperature reached minus 35.4 °C.

Through the cold-proof test of the vehicle equipment, the fire officers and soldiers were aware of the operating characteristics and performance parameters of the vehicle equipment and equipment under the severe cold weather, and thoroughly investigated the problems that could easily occur and the potential safety hazards of the vehicle equipment under extremely cold conditions. Effectively improve the capability of winter fire fighting and rescue operations to ensure the smooth execution of the fire fighting and rescue missions of the fire brigade under severe cold weather.
