New dune fire vehicles for the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region
ASH Carrosserie recently delivered four Toyota Hilux dune fire reconnaissance vehicles to the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region. The vehicles will operate from fire stations in Hoek van Holland, Oostvoorne, Rockanje and Ouddorp.
The Toyota Hilux
The Toyota Hilux vehicles have been specially equipped for deployment in dune and nature areas along the coast. In these environments, rapid response is essential. The terrain, limited accessibility and risk of fast-spreading wildfires require vehicles that are reliable, highly visible and practical in operation.
Complete warning solution for deployment in nature areas
For this project, Marelko advised on and supplied the complete warning solution. A SoundOff Signal nFORCE NXT lightbar with amber-blue corner modules was selected. This combination provides excellent visibility in a wide range of conditions, both on public roads and in nature and dune areas.
Ready for rapid deployment
With this complete vehicle setup, the vehicles are fully prepared for their important role: quickly identifying, assessing and responding to wildfires in dune and nature areas.
The collaboration between the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region, ASH Carrosserie and Marelko has resulted in four robust and functional vehicles that are fully suited to the day-to-day operational needs of the fire service in the coastal region.
We are proud of the final result and would like to thank all parties involved for the pleasant cooperation. We wish the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region many safe kilometres and successful deployments.
