MAGIRUS turntable ladders have been developed and built to deal with
tough operational situations. But which extreme situations might arise
during call-outs is always impressive. In this respect, the London Fire
Brigade reports of a spectacular incident whereby MAGIRUS turntable
ladders had proved themselves in an outstanding fashion. It was on
10. July 2009, around lunchtime, that a major fi re broke out in a fourstorey
offi ce building in Dean Street (Camden Town/Soho District) in
the heart of London. At one point, 20 tank pumpers and three turntable
ladders were in continuous operation; approx. 100 fi re fi ghters
worked in shifts.
First to arrive at the scene was the MAGIRUS turntable ladder from
the Paddington Fire Station. The photos show just how bad the conditions
were that confronted it and are more than impressive! All the
more convincing then that the technology once again proved itself
throughout in such an extreme situation. The fi re fi ghters were impressed
– and, after this successfully completed operation will swear all
the more for MAGIRUS products.
