Rosenbauer’s RFC CAFS Cube delivers high operational value in the Italian Alps

Rosenbauer, a leading provider of fire safety equipment, has been instrumental in enhancing the firefighting capabilities of Livigno’s fire department.

Located over 1,800 meters above sea level, Livigno’s challenging geography of narrow streets and steep gravel paths makes it difficult for traditional fire vehicles to operate effectively.

To address this, Rosenbauer has equipped an off-road vehicle with the RFC CAFS Cube compressed air foam system.

This innovative solution allows for effective fire fighting with water or foam in the entire area of responsibility, including hard-to-reach locations.

The RFC CAFS Cube boasts interchangeable modules, including two 80-liter foam tanks, and offers flexibility by being powered by an internal combustion engine.

The system’s effectiveness is credited to its exceptional extinguishing properties, cooling capacity, oxygen displacement, and adhesive effect.

In times of blackouts or other disasters, the RTE RC Profile Self-Assistance Unit developed by Rosenbauer provides essential services such as basic supplies of electricity, light, heat, and emergency medical equipment.

The self-assistance variant of the modular RTE RC Profile MCE is specially designed for such emergencies, featuring an RTE PX 14 power generator, RLS2000 lighting system, and additional equipment that ensures an uninterrupted energy supply.

The unit’s compact size and ease of use allow for rapid deployment to meet basic supply needs in emergencies.
