Bristol unveils UAE-made fire truck at Intersec 2019

Bristol, the Dubai-based leader in fire protection services and equipment, unveiled the latest innovative firefighting technologies and systems at the Intersec exhibition and conference held in Dubai.

Bristol showcased a variety of products with proven high levels of effectiveness, including a UAE-built firetruck, superior fire suppression systems and powerful water pump solutions, to leaders in the security and safety industry at Intersec, which will take place from 20th to 22nd January at Dubai World Trade Center Arena.

Held annually, Intersec attracts more than 1,300 exhibitors and over 30,000 visitors. The largest exhibition and international trade event of its kind, it is the ideal platform for Bristol to showcase new products to experts in the industry.

A regular exhibitor at Intersec and one of the region’s most respected fire safety and engineering companies, Bristol’s presence is dominated by the large-scale Al Shallal firefighting truck, made in the UAE to strict US-led design and specification guidelines. The Al Shallal is a heavy-duty industrial fire truck built to serve clients in the regional and global oil and gas, power and industrial sectors as well as municipal civil defense units.

Designed to combat flammable liquid and gas fires, the Al Shallal truck can tackle a range of large-scale emergencies with its highly effective ‘attack’ capabilities.

Able to flow upwards up to 40,000 liters of water and foam per minute through its three roof-monitors, the Al Shallal truck also carries dry chemical powder that can be applied to a blaze using its patented Hydro-chem technology.

The large size and impressive capacity of the heavy-duty industrial fire truck, coupled with an attractive and affordable price point, makes it the ideal vehicle for industrial firefighting and civil defense departments.

Built locally in the UAE using a commercial truck chassis rather than a custom model, the Al Shallal truck has a significant appeal to GCC customers given its timely delivery and convenient after-sales support and technical services for both the super structure and chassis, offering considerable advantages over imported vehicles.

“By introducing these systems to our clients at Intersec, Bristol is contributing to the important and ongoing efforts to improve and constantly update vital fire-safety equipment and procedures across the region.”
