Unprecedented fire conditions in Europe and North America indicate that our next summer in Australia is going to be brutal.
Winter rains have meant delays in backburning and have led to an excessive build-up of undergrowth. Aussie Pumps is urging people in our rural Hills and Hawkesbury communities to get prepared now!
The Norwest based company has produced and printed a Bushfire Survival Guide, available free to all residents. The Guide assists locals in working out their bushfire survival plans.
It covers the essentials of bushfire protection with equipment checklists, a pump selection guide and maintenance checks. It also includes advice on how to minimise the risk to animals, troubleshooting self-priming pumps and refers to the new National Fire Rating system.
A quality firefighting pump and adequate water source are key to protecting property. Aussie Pumps introduced their Fire Chief, a lightweight portable fire pump, over 30 years ago. It has been a huge success and is now regarded as the best self priming fire pump of its class. It delivers extraordinary performance, offers by far the best value for money and is backed up by a five year warranty.
Contact your local Hills and Hawkesbury based Gold Distributor for advice and assistance with pump selection, and for your free copy of the Aussie Bushfire Survival Guide. Find their details online at aussiepumps.com.au.
