Magirus Airport Fire Engines

The Dragon

Extinguishing major fires, saving lives, protecting material goods, preserving infrastructure: The tasks faced every day by fire brigades are challenging enough as it is. If we take all these duties together and try to fulfil them simultaneously, we have something very much like the requirement profile of a modern airport. Orders of magnitude, risk factors, hazards, the scope of possible damages – at an airport everything is simply larger. It logically follows that airport fire engines are therefore considered the imperial class amongst fire engines. And for years our DRAGON/IMPACT family has already been leading the pack in this premier league of major players. Their combination of strength and speed, intelligence and protective tenacity make them opponents worthy of mastering more than just fire.

Our world is getting smaller and smaller – and we're literally conquering it on the fly. To those responsible for airport safety, this represents a challenge that is growing just as much as passenger numbers and aircraft size as well as increasing flight frequency. As far as preventive fire protection is concerned, the solution here is the DRAGON. These powerhouses are the safest choice for any airport. With excellent acceleration and outstanding braking power, they can also drive while spraying water, foam or powder (pump and roll mode). And they have amazing extinguishing power. The newest DRAGON generation is entirely the result of a single integrated concept. This means everything is from a single source, from the special chassis to the superstructure, extinguishing technology to the control system. A modular system makes it possible to realize the widest possible variety of configurations in integrated vehicles. For maximum safety on the ground – and a great feeling in the air.

Dimensions at less frequented airports may be smaller than those encountered at world-class metropolitan airports, but the responsibilities involved are just the same! That's why the little brother of our airport fire engine giant has already been the boss in this smaller sector for many years: The vehicles of the IMPACT series. An integrated concept, a modular system, engine and extinguishing power, pump and roll capability, at home on or off the road – every aspect is worthy of the big machines. The fact that IMPACT vehicles are based on modified large-scale truck series components with optimized performance means they guarantee absolute reliability. Whether at a major airport or on a small airfield, whether as all-rounder or specialist, IMPACT X4 or SUPERDRAGON X8: It all stays in the family.
