The Avenger rolls into action at Cork Airport

Cork Airport has taken delivery of a new state-of-the-art firefighting vehicle which will provide faster emergency response times and help fight aircraft fires more effectively.

The new Avenger is part of a significant investment in the airport’s fire and rescue service, which has also seen the development of a hi-tech aircraft firefighting simulator at the airfield.

The Avenger replaces an older machine which has been in service in the airport fire service’s four-tender fleet for several years, all maintained by an on-site mechanical team. Its bigger cab can carry up to four crew.
