<b>Gronau is the birthplace of Udo Lindenberg,
who is famous throughout Germany.</b>

2
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:11.279
<b>That's why he's been given his own spot on
the skyline</b>

3
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.800
<b>and features on the stickers</b>

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.120
<b>on all new vehicles.</b>

5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:18.640
<b>I’m David Meyer. We work at the</b>

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.600
<b>fire and rescue station in
Gronau, Westphalia.</b>

7
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.960
<b>I work in the Engineering department.</b>

8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:31.160
<b>We've just been with the newly bought 
vehicle in the Hündfelder Moor area,</b>

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.880
<b>one of the places
our vehicle may need to work in.</b>

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.079
<b>There was a
moor fire in 2011 that lasted for several days. We found</b>

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:47.280
<b>that with the equipment
we had,</b>

12
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.960
<b>we had reached our
limits.</b>

13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.880
<b>In the future, if there is another
event like that, the vehicle</b>

14
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.240
<b>will be able to continue providing a good
service and</b>

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.520
<b>be
used in accordance with its intended use.</b>

16
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.159
<b>In addition to the Unimog, we have set up a 
roll cage system.</b>

17
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.200
<b>We procured
roll containers for forest and</b>

18
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.120
<b>vegetation fire fighting, 
site hygiene,</b>

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.959
<b>site supply and
flood protection, among other things.</b>

20
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.560
<b>The roll containers are designed so that
we can get them off the vehicle</b>

21
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.599
<b>and
to the deployment site easily.</b>

22
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.640
<b>Then we have the option, for example,
of loading foaming agents or</b>

23
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.439
<b>sandbags, if needed, using the forklift.</b>

24
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.719
<b>We have a total of
nine pallet spaces on the vehicle.</b>

25
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.840
<b>The vehicle has also been equipped
with a tyre pressure control system</b>

26
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.400
<b>and has a fording capability of 1.20 m.</b>

27
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.480
<b>At the front of the cabin 
there are two</b>

28
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.640
<b>LED floodlights with a total of
30,000 lumens.</b>

29
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.200
<b>They switch off from 15 km/h max.
speed.</b>

30
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.439
<b>This means that when
driving at low speed,</b>

31
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.520
<b>we can
light up the area in front of us.</b>

32
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.039
<b>We've
also installed LED lighting at the rear of the equipment compartment.</b>

33
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.479
<b>This is controlled by
a motion detector.</b>
