KEEPING people safe from harm is paramount in the event of a fire, and one of the best ways to stay safe is to be prepared.
GAAM Emergency Products is encouraging homeowners to devise an evacuation plan and assess what measures should be taken to help provide the best possible protection.
Local fire brigades are an excellent source of tips and advice, providing information to help homeowners make appropriate plans.
For small home fires, fire protection equipment can help to suppress a fire and minimise damage to property.
With a wide range of products on the market, it’s a good idea to research thoroughly to identify the most appropriate solution for each individual situation.
The GAAM Fire Defender is a simple-to-use, portable firefighting package which is ideally suited to suppressing small spot fires and embers.
The device can draw water from a swimming pool, creek or dam and is easy 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.
The Defender can disperse 240 litres per minute and pressures up to 390 Kpa.
When not in use, the GAAM Fire Defender is small and compact so it can be easily stored out of the way.
