THE SELANGOR (MALAYSIA) FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT has recently taken delivery of the first batch of new fire and rescue vehicles to improve their department’s capabilities.
Among the first delivery were 23 new Light Fire Rescue Tenders which will be additions to some stations and replacements for older tenders in some others.

The department’s director said, “The engine is able to provide high quantities of water and channel the water towards targets as far as two kilometres away. It will be a valuable tool in case of forest fire, high-rise building fire and petroleum-related disasters.”
(Firegeezer notes: two kilometers is 1.24 miles. He must be referring to a supply line, not nozzle reach.)
In addition, they received six new motorcycles for their Rapid Intervention Motorcycle Team (RIM) which is normally the first to respond to road accidents and disaster scenes.
