Tasks performed
The new heavy rescue and firefighting vehicle significantly increases the operational capabilities of OSP Mszczonów. It is used during rescue, firefighting and technical operations in the municipality of Mszczonów, Żyrardów County and, when needed, outside the unit's normal response area.
Support during operations
The vehicle supports firefighters during building, vehicle, forest and grass fires, as well as local hazards such as road accidents, flooding, storm damage removal, securing incident scenes and neutralising petroleum-based substances.
