Mumbai's Fire Brigade is all set to buy a 55-meter high water tower to stretch its reach to the dense, narrow lanes area. As per the proposal by the Mumbai Fire Brigade, the tower will help to reach up to a 50-meter long area. The cost of the tower is estimated to be at Rs 12.39 crores.

In the last few years, MFB has bought upgraded fire dousing engineers including fire fighting robot and Hazmat vans. Now, going one step ahead, the fire brigade is now going to buy a water tower vehicle. The water tower vehicle will help while handling blazes in tall buildings on narrow roads, and in sprawling chawls where access is difficult.
