TUNNEL RESCUE VEHICLES

Muller Technologie has presented two new re and rescue vehicles specially designed for tunnel rescue to the Rhaetian Railway for use in the Vereina tunnel in eastern Switzerland.

A vehicle will be stationed at each end of the tunnel, with the Klosters-Serneus and Zernez re brigade bases alerted to go to the portal stations in the event of an incident.

Both vehicles have a low-bed wagon with an identical driver’s cab at both ends, and has a 25,000 litre temperature-controlled water tank and storage space for all necessary re ghting equipment.

e vehicles can carry up to 12 re ghters with BA and PPE in the crew room, with space for four more team members in the cabs, and can each carry up to 100 people out of a danger zone.
