Another example of how Validus Special Auto equipment assists responders in executing missions under high-risk conditions.
Our medium-type special emergency rescue vehicle, SARM-S, has been deployed to combat large-scale forest fires within the Exclusion Zone.
For many days in a row, State Emergency Service of Ukraine responders, together with personnel from State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management enterprises, have been operating in extremely severe environments — amid dense smoke, rugged terrain, concealed fire seats, and under constant radiation monitoring.
Through their coordinated efforts, the largest fire outbreaks have been successfully localized. Primary operations are currently focused on extinguishing lingering smoldering fires, cooling affected areas, and preventing reignition.
In operations of this scale, specialized vehicles serve as a crucial component of rescue efficiency. It is precisely under these extreme conditions that their reliability, off-road capability, and operational readiness are put to the test and proven.
