Hawke’s Bay Airport is asking for the community’s help to name its new Rosenbauer Panther fire truck.
The truck will be put into service next month. It has a 700hp engine, can carry 7400l of water, and its two monitors can spray water up to 90m.
The $1.6 million fire truck comes from Austria, and is the result of a two-year procurement process, Airport chairwoman Wendie Harvey said.
“After running a domestic and international tender process with two other airports to maximise our buying power, we are very pleased to have taken delivery of our new fire truck.”
