North Cyprus Fire Service Receives 7 New Vehicles

At a session of the General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), proposals related to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) were discussed.

The new vehicles will enhance rescuers’ ability to fight fires, including fires in open areas

The Fire Service under the Directorate General of Police has received seven new vehicles to improve the effectiveness of firefighting efforts.

The fleet includes five first-response vehicles and two fire trucks equipped with water tanks. The new vehicles were handed over to district fire service units.

The first-response vehicles are equipped with tanks holding 300 litres of water and 60 litres of foam, as well as a Road Fire high-pressure firefighting system that uses water mist and foam technologies. The vehicles are intended for rapid response to various types of fires, particularly fires in natural areas.

One of the new water tankers, with a water capacity of 1.8 tonnes, was handed over to the unit in Geçitkale, while the second — with a capacity of 4 tonnes of water and 250 litres of foam — was assigned to the Güzelyurt Fire Service. This vehicle is also capable of spraying water while moving.

The police noted that updating the fleet would improve the response speed of firefighting crews and enhance the protection of residents’ lives and property.
