After constantly facing the challenge of firefighting in narrow and congested areas, where access is difficult, the Mumbai Fire Brigade plans to purchase water tower fire trucks having 70-m long pipes, which will be able to spray water up to a height of 30 metres. After buying a van with the country's tallest snorkel to combat fire in high-rises, this purchase will help the department to extend its reach in such places. Mumbai will be the only fire brigade in the country to have these trucks. It will help to tackle fires in narrow and congested areas with its long pipes.
