The Aussie Bushfire Survival Guide can assist locals to prepare ahead of the peak fire danger period.
Firefighting authorities are warning that Australia could be facing an early and intense bushfire season. With warmer than average forecasts and winter rain producing increased fuel for bushfires, early preparation is vital. Professor David Bowman, a leading Australian Fire and Pyrogeography scientist, says,“ People are still in a daze after winter and can’ t imagine that fires could be unseasonal and early.”
We can all be grateful for the services of the volunteer Brigades. They do a brilliant job and give up their time to train and act when called on, but they can’ t be everywhere at once.
Get your property bushfire ready with Aussie Pumps free Bushfire Survival Guide. The guide is loaded with invaluable information to help you make informed choices and be prepared with a bushfire plan.
Aussie’ s guide covers the basics of preparing a home or property regardless of whether you intend to stay or leave. It also assists with fire pump selection, hose kits, setting up sprinkler systems, and routine maintenance to keep gear primed and ready for an emergency.
A quality firefighting pump and adequate water source are key to setting up a protection system. Aussie’ s Fire Chief range, are designed and built for Australia. All Aussie Quik Prime pumps are backed with a 5-year pump end warranty. That demonstrates the company’ s confidence in the long-term reliability and performance of their products. It’ s capability that counts.
Unfortunately, not all pumps are designed to deliver top performance, and second-rate gear can risk property, pets, stock, and even lives.
Aussie’ s performance breakthrough Aussie has introduced new fire pumps to their range. Based on the Fire Chief, the Aussie Imposter QP205SX is a single impeller pump that performs like a twin! It is powered by a 5.5 HP Honda GX160 engine and can reach up to 90 meters head and a maximum flow of 350 lpm.
The new Aussie High Flow QP205SEHF provides high volume at high pressure. This pump is driven by a Honda GX200HF 6.5 HP engine. It can produce 65 meters head, with a maximum flow of 480 lpm. The high flow pump has a big 7” impeller that delivers more pressure but with wider vanes that enables it to provide a high head, even at high flow.
“ We are seeing the Imposter and the new High Flow pump getting a big tick of approval from customers who use their fire pumps as transfer pumps as well,” said Aussie Pumps’ chief engineer, John Hales.
Aussie are supporting the community, offering their Aussie Fire Chief Honda powered pump for only $ 880 including GST. That means that residents can get their bushfire protection system set up without compromise.
When buying your pump, ask lots of questions, do your research and choose a quality pump, based on performance, features and value. Check out the Aussie Pumps website for more information.
The Aussie Bushfire Survival Guide is free and is available from Aussie Pumps directly or through your local Aussie Gold Distributor.
