Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) announced the addition of a state-of-the-art, custom-made Fire Truck to its existing fleet of emergency vehicles. The Fire Truck, which was designed and manufactured in the US, is equipped with new fire appliances and modern technology which will help the team to carry-out emergency operations more effectively.

Alba’s Acting CEO Ali Al Baqali said: “While policies and procedures are key to maintaining Safety on the job, the right Safety equipment enables us to keep our people and plant safe. An ultramodern Fire Truck is not just the need-of-the-hour but a long-term investment to meet the current and future Safety demands of a production facility as big as Alba.”

The inauguration ceremony was held in Alba on 21 October 2019. It was attended Alba’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali, Director for SHE Moh’d Khalil and Sr. Superintendent Fire & Security Hamad Janahi and Deputy Director of Operations - Bahrain Civil Defence Colonel Mohammed Ahmed Al Ghadeer along with other key officials.

The Fire Truck was built in compliance with international fire safety standards and Bahrain’s requirements to serve the company’s operational plants. 

Deputy Director of Operation Department at Civil Defence, Colonel Mohammed Ahmed Al Ghadeer, commented: “As one of the leaders in Public Safety, Vocational Health, Safety and Fire Prevention, Alba has identified the potential direct and indirect risks to employees’ health in its plant and taken the necessary steps to protect its facilities and environment through prevention and readiness for any emergencies.

“The new Fire Truck will certainly enhance the Company’s preparedness and effective response to different incidents, especially electric fires, as it is equipped to remotely handle electric fire incidents, which would help control the fire at early stages.”
