Firefighting Vehicles Built for Rapid Response

Tempest Fire is best known for designing and manufacturing highly specialised vehicles that go beyond conventional fire trucks. Our most notable innovation is the First Attack 680, a compact yet powerful rapid intervention vehicle (RIV) created in partnership with the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA).

First Attack 680 Rapid Intervention Vehicle (RIV)

Engineered for high-intensity emergency response at airports and remote locations, the First Attack 680 is a pressurised foam-producing fire engine ideal for initial response teams. This elite vehicle offers:

  • Advanced foam suppression technology
  • Rapid deployment capabilities
  • Compact yet powerful design
  • SACAA-approved performance for airport safety compliance

Approved by the SACAA in August 2008, the First Attack 680 has since become a trusted first-response asset at numerous locations, including:

  • Grand Central Airport
  • Wonderboom Airport
  • Lanseria International Airport
  • Ulusaba Private Game Reserve – owned by Sir Richard Branson

These successful deployments demonstrate our commitment to innovation, safety, and reliability in real-world environments.
