All of our machines are equipt with fire fighting gear ready for quick response.  Our AS350 BA and Notars, run Dew Drop monsoon buckets with a 600-800 litre water capacity. Each of our monsoon buckets are connected to a foam injector unit for adding fire retardant foam to each load of water.

 

For controlled burn offs and back burning we have an underslung fire lighter which is ideal for burning areas that would otherwise be difficult or dangerous to access.
