so the airport fire rescue and bomba is under different management,
this can understand due to airport fire engine are design to minimize the possibility ignite the flammable fume while normal bomba fire engine without this feature
yes, Airport Bomba under Airport management direct manage (MAB), well out side airport is under Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat (JBPM).
For fire engine is No and Yes,
well The Fire engine in picture is Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 is come with 12,000 Liter water and 1500L foam, water pump is 7000L/minutes and fireman train specialist for aircraft/helis fire.
For JBPM fire engine main issue is the fire trunk lack of monitors (boom), can't put aircraft fire at 30-60 meter distance, so it have to use fire nozzles and very close to aircraft/helis, this is very danger. other than JBMP newer Benz and Scania fire truck already come with foam and high-Low water pump, too, but just carry about 150 Liter foam and 3600 Liter water at Scania fire truck, 2000 Liter water at Benz fire truck, both water pump just about 2000L/minutes. all water can use up in 10-15 minitus, so not 100% efficient for aircraft fire. just suitable for car/lorry/bus kind of fire, also there fireman i can said they can put down aircraft fire but than no specialist training in aircraft fire, , means issue JBPM facing now is they no enough budget to buy more class A foam. so u can see they JBPM Bomba sell-them use foam at fire unless very critical situation.
150L Class A foam cost about about RM2000. Can be proportioned from 0.1% to 1.0% (means 0.1L to 1Liter/100 Liter water) usually proportioned at 0.6%.
I see Airport Bomba should also managed by JBPM (maybe under airport fire section), than the fireman can explore more different job, it can rotate by other fireman to gain more experience.
