/MONTSAME/. The
Firefighting and Rescue Unit No. 10 of the Emergency Department of Chingeltei
District and the Firefighting and Rescue Unit No. 63 of the Emergency
Department of Bayanzurkh District have each received 42-meter aerial ladder
trucks.
The delivery is part of the Phase
II Project to Strengthen the Aerial Search and Rescue Unit and Supply
Firefighting Vehicles, being implemented under the financial agreement
between the Governments of Mongolia and the French Republic. During the first
phase of the project, two 42-meter and two 32-meter aerial ladder trucks were
supplied to reinforce firefighting capacity.
Under Phase II, Mongolia will receive five 42-meter and ten 32-meter aerial
ladder trucks, as well as three foam fire engines. Upon completion, the
availability of specialized firefighting vehicles is expected to reach 62.8
percent nationwide. The vehicles have been custom-manufactured at the request
of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to suit Mongolia’s climate
and operational conditions. This marks the first time that 42-meter aerial
ladder trucks have been introduced to the country’s emergency services.
The first phase of the project to strengthen Mongolia’s firefighting
capacity was implemented from 2019 to 2022, during which 42 specialized
firefighting vehicles of four types were supplied to NEMA.
