La lutte contre les incendies de forêt s'intensifie. Sdis 48

The two forest fire tankers equipped with the urban variant and the high pressure device will intervene in the fight against building fires and fires in natural areas.

Sophie Pantel, president of the department and of CASDIS (Board of Directors of the departmental fire and rescue service) hands over the keys to two new CCFU HP, for the Lozère firefighters. As part of the PPI (600,000 euros from the department) and out of the desire to secure firefighters during their interventions, SDIS 48 is today assigning two CCFU HP (order 2023), for the CIS (Centre fire and rescue) of Meyrueis and Le Massegros.

In total, 33 operational devices

These two forest fire tankers with the urban variant and the high pressure device will intervene in the fight against building fires and fires in natural areas. The acquisition of these two new vehicles thus makes it possible to have twenty latest generation CCFs, thus meeting all safety standards, including seven with high pressure. As a reminder, the CCF fleet within the Departmental Corps (excluding reserve CCF) is thirty-three machines. The machines ordered as part of the capacity pact (4 CCFU HP and 2 CCFS) will complete the fleet of vehicles involved in the fight against fires in natural areas.

These assignments are the result of collaborative work, consultation and exchanges between the services of the general staff (technical and operations), but also with members of Catsis (Administrative and Technical Commission for Fire and Rescue Services), under the leadership and validation of President Sophie Pantel. The next trucks will also be financed by the State.
