Ruby Tuesday: Red Rhino


Light Fire Attack Vehicle (LFAV "Red Rhino")
  • A brainchild of SCDF Commissioner James Tan, and known affectionately as the "Red Rhino", the LFAV is an all-terrain vehicle with a small pump and monitor turret capable of seating 4-5 responders. It is seen around the country parked near to Fire Posts , as in this picture, just a few blocks away from my apartment, and is designed to traverse off roads to aid in firefighting of densely built-up areas without road access which conventional Pumper-Ladders may not be able to reach.
  • The Red Rhino was designed and conceptualised in Singapore, being manufactured by the company ComfortDelGro.
To see more REDs , just click on the logo of Ruby Tuesday above.

What a 'kewl' ruby machine!!! I've played at Sacred Ruminations today but am still catching up on MONDAY memes. Figured I'd stop and comment since I was here anyway.
Hugs and blessings,

I enlarged this photo, and my goodness there is so much equipment stuffed into this vehicle, I'm surprised there is room for the people. Great concept ! Our son is a fireman, and I'd know he's like to see this.
Thanks Jama.

I've always thought these little fire trucks were pretty cool, seen some of these around the HDB car park areas with fire post below.
Good concept!
