Behind the Wheel: How Magirus helps firefighters save lives

Описание: Magirus equips firefighters with the best safety technology with one main purpose: to save more lives.


Tobias Knebel, Communications Manager, Magirus: The company was founded 150 years ago by a firefighter called Conrad Dietrich Magirus, and he was an innovator in his field. He was, himself, a firefighter, and by experience, he knew that technology is needed for firefighting. He was able to combine training and new products to make the life of firefighters safer.

Demonstration leader: ”Welcome, here is the testing ground for Magirus firefighting demonstration. We have prepared for you five stations. You have a feeling as a firefighter. And now we start with the first lesson."

Andreas Wenzel, Product Management, Magirus. ”We at Magirus are leaders in turntable ladder manufacturing. This product is made to rescue people from heights that we have not been able to reach before."

"Being on the top of a ladder, we are exposed to windy conditions and Magirus is supplying a computer stabilizing system."

"What makes the Dragon so unique is the capability to respond to an accident at the airport or on the runway in a very fast way, and throw a lot of water from a very long distance, whilst driving."

Tobias Knebel: “Everything we do here at Magirus is for the firefighters. We want to equip them with the best firefighting technology, and if we enable them to save just one more life, then we have done our job."
