The Malbaie Fire Safety Service modernizes its highlighting equipment. It will be the first service in our region to operate with battery tools.
Director Mario Savard does not hesitate to say that his service “bought the top of the top”. He specifies that the new technology “is 5 to 6 times more powerful than the old one. Freedom of action is also greater given the absence of hoses supplying the tools. The batteries would ensure 45 -minute autonomy. The equipment is a little heavier than the current ones, ”sums up the chef.
The SSILM replaces equipment that has accumulated more than thirty years of precious services.
The scarcity of parts on the existing model partly explains the change in technology.
The Holmatro company equipment, the Pentheon series, is European manufacturing. “We forget the American prices,” notes Mario Savard.
The kit includes shears, a retractor and a cylinder. It should be delivered to SSILM next month.
This acquisition of around $ 80,000, scheduled for the city’s budget, will be approved this evening.
