based on the rescue by their fire fighter ar, can see they have long ass ladder that can go up to 100meter (tbc) or 30 stories and it cost up to RM1 million for that.

Malaysia got ar ? how well is ours bomba preparation for emergency sitaution like this ?

nvm jakim more funding first.

Ladder how tall also useless when the prop layout didn’t designed to give fire truck access into the compound. In this HK fire, the fire trucks also didn’t manage to get close to the apartments.

True might not be useful for this use case, but it can be for other rescue environments, dont later when need to save tak ada tools to use just because we are not prepared for it.

this apartment block is old (1983) , no fire sprinkler system, and is low cost public housing like PPR. even UK also did not have mandatory fire sprinkler  law for their council flats until recently.
where got 100m? none of the fire ladders reach the top also...

maybe not in hk then,

The Longest Fire Truck Ladders in Use

If you’re wondering about the absolute longest ladders available, some specialized aerial apparatus can stretch impressively far:

Bronto Skylift F-Series: These aerial platforms can reach up to 295 feet (90 meters), but these are extremely specialized vehicles and are not common in every fire department.
Magirus M68L: Aerial ladder from Magirus can reach 223 feet (68 meters), making it one of the tallest true ladders in the world.

However, for typical urban or suburban fire departments, ladders of 100 feet are standard and sufficient for reaching 7–8 story buildings.

Latest footage shown the HK fire fighter only spraying water to mid floor even though there are clearly higher floor units still burning.

It’s clear that they were unable to spray water any higher. So they just keep spraying water to cool down lower floors from having fire reignite.

Lesson here is avoid buying unit that is way too high hmm.gif

Maybe it can be multipurpose, spraying or saving.
