Paris, France — A new chapter in firefighting technology has been written with the introduction of an advanced Hose Recovery Unit (HRU) produced by CSCTRUCK Fire Rescue Truck, set to transform operations for fire departments across France. The cutting-edge system, designed to expedite the labor-intensive process of hose recovery, has been deployed in multiple regions, promising significant improvements in efficiency and firefighter safety.

The HRU, developed by a leading manufacturer of firefighting equipment, offers a streamlined method for collecting, cleaning, and coiling hoses after an emergency response. This innovation addresses a critical pain point for fire departments, where manual hose recovery can be both time-consuming and physically demanding, often leading to fatigue and potential injuries. The unit utilizes a series of mechanized rollers and automated cleaning systems to handle hoses of various diameters, ensuring that they are neatly stored and ready for the next mission.

Since its introduction, the HRU has received positive feedback from fire brigades in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, where trial deployments have already demonstrated a 40% reduction in hose recovery time. The unit not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to improved equipment maintenance by reducing wear and tear on hoses.

Jean-Michel Lefèvre, Chief of the Paris Fire Brigade, expressed his enthusiasm: “The Hose Recovery Unit is a game-changer for our teams. It minimizes the physical burden on our firefighters and allows us to get back to base faster, ready for the next call.”

The rollout of the HRU is part of a broader initiative to modernize firefighting operations in France. As more units are deployed nationwide, the technology is expected to become a standard tool, reinforcing France’s position at the forefront of firefighting innovation.
