SWISS fire and rescue trains |
| Description: |
All cab cabins are pressure-tight and have a breathing air supply that creates an overpressure. In the cabs of the equipment vehicle and the tank unit (which are back to back as seen in the picture), a control panel for the fire extinguishing technology is additionally installed. The 4-unit trains have an extra rescue unit at the end for tunnel operation. Each of it can take up to 60 people or 40 and 6 on strechers. It has connections for the supply of medical oxygen to patients. |

| Description: |
A US inspired badge of the rescue organisation at Melide station. Intervention’s sites are located in a way that enables intervention teams to reach any point on the railway network within 15 to 30 minutes. The fire-fighting and rescue trains’ teams have their quarters at these sites and are 7/24h on alert readyness. This way, they can be ready for action within only a few minutes even during the night. |
