The World Health Organisation (WHO) has analysed the causes of death caused by fire in domestic and industrial properties and found that on a global scale most damage and deaths are caused by a failure to reach the location of the fire in time. This is particularly prevalent where slum dwellings, poor housing, inadequate road access and a lack of traffic infrastructure prevents getting to the fire before it is too late.
- Existing problems encountered by Fire-Fighting services range from Lack of equipment capacity (fire trucks)
- Lack of Public Fire Hydrants and available water supply
- Double parking, Lack of street access, Too narrow for the main service Fire truck to access – Steyr, Man etc.
- Traffic congestion
- Poor driver responsibility in moving away to make way for the emergency vehicles to get through
- A lack of finance and poor budgeting at Central and Local Government levels
- The CLEVA EV Fire Truck provides a unique range of emergency service functions not previously adopted by most communities. The human and commercial cost can be avoided by creating these services at a local level. The CLEVA solution provides:
- Provides a Fire Truck fully equipped as for a normal full-sized unit
- Provides a water capacity fit for use – 2,000 litres
- A CLEVA EV Fire Truck is affordable – one major city Fire Truck can be replaced by six (6) CLEVA units.
- Apart from the economic benefits, the CLEVA unit is virtually emissions free
- Where the CLEVA EV Fire Truck is ideally suited for emergency and access requirements
- Should be commissioned in all residential compounds where it saves an unknown considerable amount of time, compared to the regular “fire-service” that takes an unknown time to reach the fire location. For larger compounds (particularly where the residential occupancy is sensitive), place more than one.
- Locate at all strategic points in:
- Resorts, large hotels, and MICE centres where access to the fire/emergency is critical to saving people and property.
- Large Shopping Malls and car parks
- Industrial Estates
- Railway stations
- Sports Stadiums
- Hospitals
- Refuse dumps
- Transport Hubs
