Earlier the car belonged to KhTW.

- The KhTZ management, as well as the DCH group of companies, are happy to note the high rates of housing construction in Kharkiv. Recently, only in the area of ??the plant more than 30 high-rise buildings have been built, and, accordingly, the need for rescuers has increased in technology, in particular, one that allows for extinguishing fires and rescuing people at high altitude. Proceeding from this, I decided to transfer the special car, - commented K. Petrovsky.

It should be noted that the uniqueness of this machine lies in the fact that it is equipped with a thirty-meter assault ladder, which is designed to lift firemen to the upper floors of buildings up to a height of 30 meters. Also, the car is used to extinguish fires with water and air-mechanical foam.

- We are grateful to the leadership of Khartsyzsk Tractor Works for the transfer to the balance of our garrison of such necessary vehicle.

Now the car is ready for operation and will soon replenish the vehicle fleet of fire and rescue equipment of one of the district units of the Kharkov garrison of the State Emergency Service, "said Alexander Volobuev, Head of the State Department of the Emergencies Ministry of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region.
