Three new fire tankers manufactured by Validus Special Auto have joined the vehicle fleet of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Poltava Region.
The vehicles were transferred under the security project “Community Rescue Officer.”
The new equipment will enable first responders to react faster to emergencies, mitigating the impacts of enemy attacks, fires, and road traffic accidents.

Key features of the fire tanker:

• MAN 4×4 all-wheel-drive chassis — high off-road capability and confident performance in difficult road conditions (thanks to a centralized tire inflation system);
• 3,500 L of water and 350 L of foam concentrate — a substantial reserve of extinguishing agents for effective response;
• A pump capacity of 3,000 L/min, ensuring rapid and efficient firefighting;
• Remotely controlled monitor with a throw range starting from 50 m;
• Reinforced structure specifically adapted for off-road conditions, along with high mobility for operations in extreme environments.

For the Validus Special Auto team, this is more than just another vehicle handover. It is a contribution to strengthening the capabilities of Ukrainian rescuers, who work daily where human lives depend on the speed, reliability, and functionality of equipment.
We thank the SES of Ukraine for their trust and service.
