The Mumbai Fire Brigade has been operating with large first responders for quite a long time. Since the dawn of overpopulation in the city, the city is becoming more crowded, roads are getting narrower due to the encroaching of settlements, and it becomes difficult for emergency vehicles to pass through these roads in case of a disaster. Because the fire responders vehicles are so large, their response times are heavily affected by their own size. Most of the time, not all of the equipment that is placed on a first responder is actually needed at the scene of the disaster.
This project tries to understand what can be done to tackle fire-related disasters in the crowded urban streets of a metropolitan city. What causes inconvenience to the current fire fighting system, the kinds of fire fighting systems in an urban fire fighting system, and focusing on a particular kind of fire fighting system. The goal of the project is to come up with a concept for a firefighting vehicle that can perform all the vital functions of a traditional firefighting engine while being able to tackle the challenges of a crowded urban city.
