With the introduction to service of the large new fire engine “Pegasus”, the airport fire service fleet has been extended to a total of six vehicles, which can employ both water and foam. Consequently the requirements of the international civil aviation authorities (ICAO) with regard to the operational start of the DHL freight hub in 2008 have been fulfilled.

The special feature of this fire engine is its foam unit “One Seven”. Thanks to a special high pressure process, seven foam bubbles are produced from each drop of water. This process spares resources, gives the foam a high cling factor and prevents water damage as a result of fire extinguishing activities.

The name “Pegasus” comes from the project title of the DHL establishment.
