No tool equals water access in a wildland firefighting operation. It is a well known truth on the fireline. When fires occur in remote locations, inaccessible for trucks and pickups, portable fire pumps become essential for fire management.
True to its commitment to offer global solutions for wildland firefighting, Vallfirest has developed its first line of portable fire pumps, the Black Line Series. A new range of light, powerful and reliable equipment, designed to resist the inherent roughness of wildland environments and applications.
Assembled with high quality materials and with European Certification (EN 14466:2006). Applications include direct attack with hose lay, self-protection maneuvers with sprinklers, tandem pumping for long distances, firefighting at great heights in mountainous areas and parallel pumping for higher volumes.
