Farmers encouraged to prepare bushfire survival plan
Announcement posted by Wormald 08 Nov 2011
With summer fast approaching and the threat of bushfires not far away, GAAM Emergency Products is encouraging farmers in bushfire prone areas to seek advice from their local fire brigade about protecting their property and to prepare a bushfire survival plan.
As part of any bushfire survival plan, farmers should assess how they can make their property defendable, consider what fire protection systems need to be in place and ensure they’re aware where their nearest shelter is if they need to vacate their premises quickly.
In the incident of a small-scale fire, such as a spot fire or ember attack, GAAM Emergency Products has designed a portable firefighting pump, which provides a convenient and straightforward solution for fire suppression.
The GAAM Fire Defender is a lightweight and easy-to-use firefighting package. Drawing water from a source such as a swimming pool, creek or dam, the device is simple to set up. Placed next to the water source, the Defender’s hard suction hose is connected to the pump and submerged in the water. The hose is then connected to the pump outlet and the Honda 4-stroke petrol engine is started by pulling the cord. Highly efficient, the Defender is capable of dispersing 240 litres per minute and pressures up to 390 Kpa.
When not being used, the GAAM Fire Defender is small and compact so that it can be easily stored away.
