LONDON, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Extinguishing
major fires, saving lives and preserving infrastructure are all
tasks which fire departments face on a daily basis. At an airport
all of these tasks often need to be fulfilled together
simultaneously when a fire emergency takes place, making for a
greater challenge. Fire hazards are almost always a consequence of
aviation emergencies and so it is the job of an airport's fire
brigade to be ready for anything. "Anyone who hasn't experienced
kerosene on the tarmac doesn't know how valuable seconds can be,"
explains Andreas Wenzel, responsible
for Product Management at Magirus, CNH Industrial's global
firefighting equipment brand.

Magirus has a strong reputation in its industry for providing
world-class airport firefighting vehicles and components to help
fire brigades respond swiftly and effectively to emergencies. The
shining star in its airport product portfolio is the DRAGON series
which is available in three model sizes (DRAGON X4, DRAGON X6 and
SUPERDRAGON X8). What makes the DRAGON so unique is its ability to
rapidly respond to an accident by spraying water, foam or powder
and pumping up to 10,000 liters of water per minute from as far
away as 100 meters, all whilst driving at 70 kilometers per
hour.
Developed especially for large airports, the DRAGON can reach 80
kilometers per hour in 25 seconds in the 52-ton SUPERDRAGON X8.
This model series features a twin engine power pack based on C13
engines, produced by CNH Industrial's powertrain brand FPT
Industrial. These engines are set with specific data to meet
airport requirements. If both engines are put into action, the
vehicle can reach up to 1,120 horsepower.
