GAAM Fire Defender  It is becoming clearer that the effects of global warming are producing extreme weather patterns and increasingly intense and longer lasting bushfire seasons. As a result, it is becoming more important for householders in bushfire prone areas to make sure they are equipped to tackle spot fires and ember attack during extreme periods when fire fighters are stretched to capacity.
For many years, Australia’s Fire Brigades have relied on GAAM pumps to fight fires and now GAAM is pleased to introduce a domestic fire fighting package. The GAAM Fire Defender is a portable, easy to use, complete fire fighting package for your home.
The GAAM Fire Defender comes complete with:
- Honda 4 stroke petrol engine
- Pump, providing 240 litres/minute and pressures to 390 Kpa
- 25 mm x 30 metre delivery hose
- Nozzle
- Wajax quick connect couplings (as used by CFA)
- 6 m length hard suction hose with brass foot valve
- Trolley
Simply wheel the GAAM Fire Defender near your water source, connect the hard suction hose to the pump and submerge it in water (swimming pool, creek or dam). Connect the hose to the pump outlet, pull the cord to start the engine and aim the nozzle at the fire.
