Firefighting Equipment

Firefighting equipment is a vital inclusion for any rural property. Whether you're looking to defend against potential bushfires, or simply ensuring you're prepared if anything goes wrong on the farm, a solid firefighting setup is key both for functionality and peace of mind.

 

The Right Firefighting Equipment For Your Needs:

The right firefighting equipment for your needs will depend on a range of factors. As a general rule, however, these types of setups fall into two categories:

Farm Firefighting Equipment

All farms should have a fire management plan and appropriate farm firefighting equipment easily available at all times. Many activities on a farm can trigger a fire and things can quickly get out of control, turning into a major issue. The good news is that by being properly prepared, you can greatly reduce the chances of an incident turning into an emergency.

Be sure to consider all hazards present on your farm when designing your farm firefighting setup and regularly check and maintain all pumps, hoses and fittings even if they are not needed often. Your local Irrigear Independent Experts can assist you in specifying the right equipment for your needs, however, you will need to share the hazards present in your farming activities in order for them to assist, and they are not qualified to make these assessments for you.

Note: Farm fire management differs to how you would handle an emergency like a bushfire and different equipment may be needed for each setup if you intend on having both.

Emergency Firefighting Equipment

Speaking of bushfires, Summer in Australia is brutal no matter where you live, but if you've made your home out bush, there are a range of extra hazards that need to be accounted for. Snakes, for example, are far more likely to show up on rural properties, you need to be more careful when moving cars or machinery, and bushfires are an ever present risk that can be devastating if it eventuates.

Having your emergency firefighting equipment setup properly configured and maintained could make all the difference in how your property handles the disaster (as well as your survival if you get stuck or choose to stay), so getting this right is vital. An automated firefighting system may also be able to save your property, or at least reduce the damage suffered, if you turn it on before you leave.

Your local Irrigear Independent Experts can specify and supply the appropriate equipment, and your local fire authorities are a great place to get advice on how to manage an emergency situation if one does arise.

 

Firefighting Advice:

While your local Irrigear Independent Experts are able to provide advice and assistance with selecting and configuring your firefighting equipment, they are not fire fighters. When designing your fire management plan and/or emergency response protocols it is important to speak with your local fire authorities to ensure all required factors have been accounted for.
