We’ve seen the devastation in Victoria with hundreds of thousands of acres burnt and many homes lost. With vivid memories of the massive fires in NSW in the past, it’s clear that the last few years has seen a consistent build-up of fuel, right throughout the east coast.
Scorching hot weather and erratic winds are the key ingredients for serious bushfire danger. One local company, Aussie Pumps, located at Norwest, has ramped up production of both Honda petrol and Yanmar diesel drive fire pumps.
The Aussie Fire Chief is regarded as the world’s best lightweight, portable fire pump. Designed originally for Australian conditions, it’s now a big seller around the world.
“The product is simply better than any other of it’s kind in the world and comes with a five-year warranty and a flat price of $880 including GST. They are available from Aussie Gold distributors throughout Hills to Hawkesbury.
Aussie Pumps also produce tens of thousands of their Fire Survival Guides in preparation for the fire season every year. It covers everything you need to get your property prepared.
If you choose to stay and fight the fire, having sufficient water and a high quality pump is required. A good quality high pressure hose kit is just as important. With sprinklers on the roof and downpipes blocked, the gutters can turn into a ‘moat’ to help defend an ember attack.
