What is the 119 vehicle?
1 Answers
119 is a fire truck, also known as a fire engine. It is designed and manufactured to accommodate firefighters, equipped with various firefighting equipment or extinguishing agents, and used by fire departments for fire suppression, auxiliary firefighting, or rescue operations. In most countries, including China, fire departments also utilize these vehicles for other emergency rescue purposes. Fire trucks can transport firefighters to disaster scenes and provide them with multiple tools for executing rescue missions. Modern fire trucks are typically equipped with steel ladders, water guns, portable fire extinguishers, self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, demolition tools, first aid kits, and other equipment. Some also carry large firefighting devices such as water tanks, water pumps, and foam extinguishing systems. In most regions, fire trucks are painted red, though in some areas they may be yellow, including certain specialized fire trucks. The top of a fire truck usually features an alarm bell, siren, emergency lights, and strobe lights. Common types of fire trucks include water tank fire trucks, foam fire trucks, dry powder fire trucks, long-distance water supply fire trucks, aerial fire trucks, and ladder fire trucks.
