Some years ago working with the late Alex Revel we examined why trucks stopped in fire situations.
It turned out the air brake hoses melted and burnt threw instantly locking the brakes on.
The solution was to protect the hoses with insulation and armoured with stainless steel outer coat.
These were tested and were able to withstand 1000 degrees for ten minutes and that was all that was needed.
If fire trucks do not have these fitted then the government is seriously broken.
Hey guys have a look at you trucks.
I just heard on ABC TV say a truck had its brake apply in a serious situation near Nowra.
