To prepare for the commissioning of two new super jumbo Airbuses A380, a double-deck passenger aircraft, Fire Services Department has taken a proactive step of acquiring two brand new Jackless Snorkels for the Airport Fire Contingent. Each Snorkel is equipped with an advanced infrared camera, a set of hydraulic booms, and a hydro-chem nozzle. Besides, the Snorkel is also equipped with a piercing nozzle that can pierce through the fuselage and discharge water spray or foam to lower the temperature of the cabin in fire, enhancing our capability in combating aircraft fires and effecting rescue. |
