The first fire train in China can reach emergency fire-fighting places immediately after a fire broke out, People's Daily Online reported on October 8. The train head is modified from a bare container truck, which can run at a speed of 120km / h.

The ship is equipped with a fire extinguisher and two water tanks, and a multi-function high pressure fog melting device. In addition, the ship also has a system of lights, warning lights, sirens, equipment used on the ground. The vessel is used to respond quickly to emergency cases to enhance effective firefighting or to rescue vehicles in trouble along the tracks.

Due to being able to spray 485 meters away, the ship could extinguish the flames from a 16-speed high-speed train. In addition to fire, the ship also acts as a means of supplying water to trains running in remote areas and water scarcity. The ship also makes satellite rail, bridge and tunnel easier.
