First Out, Working Hard

The province is burning up this summer. Fire departments through out the interior are using First Out fire suppression machines as an invaluable tool to battle spots, flare ups, remote, and interface fires.

Designed with input from the Oliver Fire Dept and former Willowbrook fire chief Brad Fosset, we wanted something that would work in the back of a 4×4 or RTV and used as little resources as possible, because both water and manpower run limited fast in the summer heat. We use a concept called “high pressure, low volume”

Up toward Mt Baldy, Residents outside the fire protection district are saving their homes properties and investments using this system, it is one of the few types that works well for both civilian and professional use due to its ease of operation and sparing use of resources.

The Oliver fire department loved their unit so much that after the Rock creek fires in 2015 they decided to fund raise and buy a unit for Midway so that they might have a fighting advantage the next time calamity strikes.

Keremeos fire ordered this custom unit last year, I am sure they are getting good use of it now!

We couldn’t be more proud to be building a machine that is tailored to suit our people in our area.
