Quick response to allison transmissions trusted by fire engines

The global fire rescue service team trusts Allison because the fire truck equipped with the Allison transmission at a crucial moment can make a quick and safe response. The experience of the Fire Services Rescue Service Team in County Clare, Ireland, shows that the Allison Transmission plays an extremely important role in the fire fighting operations in rural areas.

The County Fire Rescue Service Team in Clare County has about 1,200 attendances per year. Fire-fighting operations include building fire extinguishing and extinguishing the fire in the peat and wetland forests in the immediate area. Relative to the city, fire hydrants are rarely found in rural areas of County Clare, which forces the fire brigade to bring their own water. In the event of a fire, the tank fire trucks must carry two firefighters in addition to 7,600 litres of fire-fighting water.

Facing such a high frequency and difficulty in extinguishing the fire, Allison's outstanding performance was highly valued by the fire brigade. "The 11-ton fire engine and the 18-ton water tanker fire engine must arrive at the same time in the event of a fire. Allison's all-in-one retarder is so heavy that the total vehicle weight is so great," said Al Minnie, chief of maintenance for the County of Clare. In addition, the driver can smoothly control the speed of the vehicle and the brakes are very easy. The time is also guaranteed under the precondition of ensuring the safety of the vehicle!"

The challenge of fire fighting in rural areas lies not only in the lack of a guaranteed source of water. The rugged and narrow mountain roads in the countryside are also challenges faced by fire rescue service teams. Rural fire sites are generally far away from the urban areas. Fire rescue service teams must pass through seven sub-stations in the county to reach the fire scene. In such an emergency situation, it is even more necessary to use a fully automatic transmission. Allison Transmission's advanced hydraulic torque converter and planetary gearset technology provide uninterrupted shifting power. In this way, the driver can focus on the control of the direction and the vehicle can be safely driven.

In addition, the rescue service team is also very satisfied with the low-cost advantages of Allison transmissions. Practice has shown that Allison's gearboxes have low maintenance costs, overall costs are reduced, and vehicles can stay in full-time or ready to go. The Allison Transmission gives reliable and optimal performance to the vehicle under all conditions.

Since the early 1990s, the Allison Transmission has been designated for assembly on the fire service support vehicle in the County of Clare. At present, the fire rescue service team has 5 tank fire engines equipped with Allison transmissions, including four Hino 500 series vehicles purchased in 2009 and 2010 and one Hino FS 6x4 fire truck purchased in 1992. Fourteen of the 24 fire trucks in this team had fire trucks equipped with Allison gearboxes responsible for fire fighting in remote areas.

The Hino 500 series tank fire trucks are equipped with many features to support the specific requirements of the Fire Services Team in the County of Clare. In addition to assembling the Allison transmission, the tanker fire truck also carries an inflatable pool to draw water from the water tanker on the fire scene. This allows the firefighters to continue extinguishing the fire while the tanker goes to the nearest nearby river or to the lake to pump water. In addition, monitoring devices in the cab of the fire engine can remotely control the fire. In the event of a traffic accident, the pump disposed under the front bumper injects a mixture of water and foam to the area where the oil leaked. Allison gearboxes and fire engines are well-matched by customers.

In addition to their daily work, members of the County Fire Service Team in the County of Clare also receive in-depth training in fire fighting and disaster relief. They can fully experience the smooth driving and simple control brought by Allison transmission while protecting their own communities.
