Djibouti, Feb 19th, 2024 - In a significant development aimed at enhancing its firefighting capabilities, Djibouti has welcomed the delivery of a state-of-the-art Tank Fire Truck, marking a crucial addition to the nation's emergency response infrastructure.
The new Tank Fire Truck, a generous contribution from a multinational consortium led by a prominent global aid organization, arrived at Djibouti's main port earlier this week.

The Tank Fire Truck, equipped with cutting-edge technology, significantly enhances the nation's firefighting capabilities.
Key features of the new Tank Fire Truck include a high-capacity water cannon capable of delivering a continuous stream of water or firefighting foam over long distances, a spacious crew cabin, and an integrated foam generator system. These features allow firefighters to approach and combat fires in even the most challenging environments safely.

He noted that the new Tank Fire Truck would not only protect lives and property within Djibouti but also contribute to regional safety and security efforts.
