Thank you for reacting to our Video at 2:20, we really appreciate it! 🚒

This truck is the highest one in service with a public fire department in Germany at the moment.

Greetings from Germany! ☺️

First and last are specialized vehicles for chemical plant fires. The jet engine units are a more civilized version of the tank-with-jet-engines used in Kuwait in 1992

The first convoy is a special kind of firefighters (Werkfeurwehr written on their vehicles), which basically serve a specific company. They belong to pharmaceutical giant Bayer, you can see the title Chempark on the sides of the vehicles, which is the name of their giant chemical plant. These kind of firefighters and their equipment would be specialized for fires and dangers they could encounter. As you can imagine, fires in a giant chemical plant full of dangerous chemicals could be catastrophic compared to regular household fires, that's why there's so many of them with big specialized equipment.

The 90m mast fire truck has RWE logo, which is a giant utility/energy company, so they have special equipment for fires in power plants.

Lastly the fire truck with jet turbines is used at airports. Crashed airplanes with leaking fuel can be hard to put out.

The last showcase of vehicles also belong to a special firefighting service of an another chemical company called Evonik, you can see Evonik on all of the vehicles.

I work for the company that manufactures those aerial platforms at 2:22 and 3:58.
The first one goes up to 70m high, it is brand new and was delivered this year.
The second one is 90m, pretty common in wind turbine maintenance. And it actually doesn't move at this altitude, even with 45km/h wind it can take at it's maximum.
The company is Bronto Skylift and we have the record for the highest truck mounted aerial platform in the world at 112m.

The Convoi and the Jetengine truck all belong to factory firebrigades (Werksfeuerwehr). So they fight industrial fires, like in oil refineries or anything with toxic/explosive/highly flammable stuff
The Jetengine is used to hold down fires, chemicals or toxic gases especially over wide areas. It can also spray other stuff like foam to suffocate a fire

2:55 pretty sure its a Scania
90m is roughly 300 feet
11:00 at the start of the clip he says its designed for stuff like chemical fires. And its designed to not only spray water but it even has a tank reserved for foam so it can spread an aerosolized foam/water mixture. Its also mentioned that the turbines runs off normal gas but can also be powered by other fuel sources such as NLG etc.

In Germany the Vehicles of the PUBLIC (not privat like for Companies) are standardized for the most Things. There are different Class with different Functions, in a Category it has standardized Utilities at standardized Places in the Vehicle. There is a Rule how much HP the Engine has to have as Minimum, the Colors are standardized to 2 Red-Tones as Basic (RAL 3024 & RAL 3000 if i remeber right) and NOBODY ELSE is allowed to paint a privat Car in that Color, it is even standardized what is written on at what Places and how big the Letters have to be!

If you see "Werkfeuerwehr" it is the Fire-Department of a Company. At the Beginning of your Video it said "Werkfeuerwehr", "Chem-Park" and the Numberplates started with "LEV", so i guess those are the Firetrucks of the Pharma-Company Bayer-Leverkusen that are specialized to the Requirments you need for chemical Industry.

For that Vehicle with the Jet-Engines Wikipedia Germany says: "Fire fighting turbines are primarily used in the chemical industry and refineries, tunnels and subway shafts, airports and recycling plants." I have see a Pair of Jet-Engines mounted on a Tank (!!!) as Prototype fighting against Tunnel-Fires.

The largest fire trucks are those for extinguishing industrial fires . A normal fire truck has 2.5 tons of water and fire trucks for industrial fires have 10 tons of water.The largest are fire trucks used at airports. Rosenbauer Panther rescue and fire-fighting vehicle with side number 6, type 8x8 GCBA 18/110. it's a real monster. Although it weighs over 50 tons, two 725 HP engines allow it to reach a speed of 135 km/h and accelerate to 80 km/h in 22 seconds. The vehicle is equipped with a self-defense system - it can enter a pool of burning fuel without any threat to firefighters. This car has two water tanks with a capacity of 18, 000 liters and a foam concentrate with a capacity of 2, 100 liters. The capacity of the car pump is 11, 000 l/min and the capacity of the main monitor is 9, 000 l/min with a range of 100 m. The capacity of the bumper monitor is 3, 600 l/min.

Thanks for reaction to our Video (the 1st one at 0:37)! :D

This happened after a show day from the Currenta plant fire brigade at the Chempark Leverkusen where they drove back onto the factory premises.

Greetings from Germany :)

First convoy was an industrial FD heading back from a PR event where they invited filmers.
The 90 meter platform is the tallest one in Germany; Used at an industrial FD as well. 90m equals 300 ft in height
The one from Hamburg is the tallest one at a municipal FD in the country. The 70 m equals 230 ft

If I understand correctly, the turbine car is used to cool fires and knock down chemical clouds.

I'm German and I know a lot about emegency vehicles. Some in this video are only used for industry fires like the one with the turbines. The 90 meter "Teleskopmast" (translation: telescopic mast) is a special vehicle for very tall industry buildings. I think it is the only one that tall in Germany. Normally there are 30m tall "Drehleitern" (translation: turnable ladders - a truck with a extendable 30m long ladder with a basket at the end. Used to rescue people (or cats) from buildings or trees even if they are not so tall. It's also used to pump water to that height to extinguish fires from above). The standard fire engines are (transation: fire engine with equipment for technical rescue; I know we Germanns have lots of very compilcated long words). They can usually carry up to 9 firemen, 4-6 are usually on board, and contain 2000l of water and a pump with all the firefighting equipment. These trucks are a lot smaller than in the US, only about 7-10 meters long.
I this video you saw only special vehicles used from industry fire stations. And all vehicles that are allowed to drive the puplic roads in Germany have to weigh less than 40 tons. The are a few exeptions but not in this video. Maybe the 90m one was a bit heavier.

11:15 The turbine turns the water into an aerosol. The heat exchange between the water aerosol and the flames is maximized by the now large surface area of the much smaller water droplets. In this way, the cooling effect is very high and the fire is extinguished very quickly due to this loss of energy. This is very useful for burning airplanes, overheated chemical reactors, puddles of burning liquids, deflagrations of all kinds of dusts and, as you said, burning forests.

That first clip is probably an industrial fire. The vehicles are marked as Werkfeuerwehr Chempark. Now, you need to know here that, unlike in the US, in Germany, fire brigades are generally volunteer only. A few big cities have their own professional fire brigades, but the vast majority are volunteers. Now, these on the other hand are a third category, a private fire brigade owned by a company, presumably the one running the Chempark. These are common if you have big industrial sites. They're often also professionals, though, if anyone at the company is a volunteer firefighter, they too might be part of the brigade. Afterall, when fighting fires, there is no such thing as too much personnel, or at least, you generally want more rather than less.

07:09 Those are called cooling towers. Many power plants, not just nuclear ones have them. Power plants usually work by heating up water to steam and running that steam through a turbine wich creates electricity. Those cooling towers are there to condense the steam back into water so it can be cycled back through the system. Hope that helps. :)

Those are mainly company run fire brigades, that huge companies maintain. You can tell that they have deeper pocket than the publicly funded city fire brigades. Also they tend to operate very purpose focused vehicles, like the water curtain engine, or the truck with the 90m (300ft) platform. That is operated by RWE, a mega big electricity company in German. Those towers you asked about are water cooling towers of power plants. Nuclear or other. All nuclear power plant in Germany are now taken offline, but still exist of course.

I can tell 90m ARE pretty high when you´re just in that little basket. I had a bungee jump once from 100m and yeah, this was frightening. Kudos to everyone working in that height!

the 1st clip is Werkfeuerwehr (factory fire brigade) Chempark Leverkusen. They belong to one of Germany's biggest chemical industry plants.

the 2nd is Berufsfeuerwehr Hamburg. Professional fire brigades of large cities usually have heavier equipment than the volunteer brigades. Usually, big cities have professional volunteer fire brigades while smaller towns usually only have volunteers.

the 3rd is Werkfeuerwehr RWE Neurath. They belong to a large, coal-fired power station. 90 meters is 295 feet. Enough for reaching at least 25 stories high. The fat, round tower is a condensation tower, often simply called cooling tower.

the 4th in Werkfeuerwehr Evonik Rheinfelden, another huge chemical industry plant. The turbine truck is designed to fight even the most extreme chemical, gas and oil fires. Afaik the use of jet engines to blow out extreme fires is a French invention. It was famously used in Kuweit 1991 to stop burning oil wells.

The truck at 7:34 with the jet engines is specialized for fires at chemical plants or airports. Where you have to cover a large area quickly. The water is for demonstration. In case of a fire with chemical agents they would use specialized extinguishing foam. The turret can be mored 180 degrees horizontally, and 45 degress vertically. It cam pump 8, 000 liters per minute (Just some German tanslations on the fly ^^)

The turbin one is called TULF (TUrbinenLöschFahrzeug = turbin extinguish vehicle). It is a class of ALFs (AerosolLöschFahrzeuge = Aerosol extinguish vehicles) and are for big industrial fires or gas leakages. There are some beautiful looking ones, like the "AGLF Hurricane", "ALF Big Wind" or the "Caterpillar Jtaltractor - Pozhtechnika".

They are rare, only on some few industry havy areas. According to Wikipedia only 9 in germany. Problem is the high maintaining cost, lack of usecases (big fires in a wide open area and high water support) and it needs specialiced extra fire truck or multiple regular fire trucks to pump all the water it needs to it. But IF something happend (where you would use one of them) they are worth it.
