In the battle against industrial fires, the selection of appropriate emergency vehicles is not just a matter of efficiency but of life and death. Recent incidents have highlighted the peril that industrial fires pose, making it imperative for fire services to be equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Emergency One (E1), a leader in the production of firefighting vehicles, stands at the forefront of this mission with its innovative range of fully customisable industrial vehicles.

The E1 Scorpion™: Advanced HRET Technology

The E1 Scorpion™ is designed to tackle the most challenging industrial fires, equipped with a 16m or 20m High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET) system. This innovative system is designed and manufactured in the UK to meet the standards of BSEN1846, BSEN1777, and NFPA1901, ensuring best-in-class performance and reliability. The HRET system provides exceptional reach and flexibility, allowing firefighters to tackle flames from a safe distance with precision, featuring up to 360-degree rotation for unparalleled manoeuvrability. The E1 Scorpion™ also offers the optional “Fire Spike” piercing lance system, capable of delivering water and foam at a rate of 1,000lpm. Additionally, the boom-mounted high-flow monitor can deliver up to 6,000lpm further enhancing its capabilities. The E1 Scorpion’s versatility and strength make it an indispensable asset for any fire service.

The E1 MIVe™: Going Where a Full-Sized Appliance Can’t

This ultra-lightweight appliance is Emergency One’s solution for an appliance specifically tailored for commercial and industrial sectors. With its lightweight design, N1 road homologation, and 350-litre water tank complemented by a 20-litre foam tank, the E1 MIVe™ offers a powerful firefighting solution in a compact form. Available in Fire Buggy, Rescue Buggy, or fully customised configurations based on your specific needs and requirements. The 100% electric chassis ensures zero emissions, aligning with eco-conscious practices. With a payload capacity of 900kg to carry any required equipment. Whether it’s navigating narrow passageways or responding to areas with restricted access, the E1 MIVe™ is the ideal solution.

Standard Pumping Appliances: The Backbone of Industrial Firefighting

Whilst specialised appliances provide a more tailored solution to industrial fires, pumping appliances shouldn’t be overlooked. These vehicles are engineered for reliability and efficiency, with powerful pumps capable of delivering high-pressure water and carrying a wide range of equipment. In industrial fires, where quick suppression is critical to prevent catastrophic damage, the reliability of these pumping appliances cannot be overstated. Emergency One can manufacture pumping appliances on a wide range of chassis with customised water capacity and stowage options, your build is uniquely yours.

Active Air Purification Unit: Protecting our First Responders

Emergency One has recently introduced the Active Air Purification Unit from United Safety and Survivability Corporation to the UK market. This innovative device, fitted to the cab of firefighting appliances, works to eliminate more than 99% of viral and bacterial pathogens in the air and on surfaces, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for firefighters. Industrial fires often release toxic fumes and particulates, posing serious health risks to first responders. By incorporating this advanced air purification technology, Emergency One not only enhances the safety of their vehicles but also prioritises the well-being of firefighters.

Emergency One continues to lead the way in industrial firefighting with its advanced range of vehicles and technologies. The E1 Scorpion™ offers exceptional reach and flexibility, the E1 MIVe™ provides a compact yet powerful firefighting solution, and the robust pumping appliances form the backbone of firefighting operations. All these vehicles highlight the importance of precision and adaptability in tackling industrial fires. Furthermore, the introduction of the Active Air Purification Unit underscores Emergency One’s commitment to firefighter safety. These innovations not only enhance operational efficiency but also prioritise the health and well-being of first responders, ensuring they are equipped with the best tools to protect lives and property in the most challenging conditions.
