Municipal managers and private companies are facing unprecedented rising costs when challenged to provide traditional fire protection services for their communities and businesses.
The alternative is to establish a Rural Fire Protection
Service which is economical and sustainable.
The primary mission of all fire department administrations should be to ensure that the community is provided with an optimal level of fire protection in a cost effective and efficient manner. Traditional approaches to the delivery of fire suppression with full-size triple combination pumpers may not necessarily be the most appropriate way to deliver this component of community fire safety. This is a particularly common problem in small communities with limited funding and the declining availability of volunteer firefighting personnel.
Fire Suppression Technology & Training Programs:
The alternative to traditional fire suppression apparatus are highly mobile rapid attack fire units which feature new Fire Suppression Technology. The fire suppression systems are combined with Fire Training Programs designed to provide basic fire ground knowledge. In addition, community public education programs must be included to provide rural communities with basic fire and life safety protection.
Fire Protection Packages:
Remote Fire Fighting Solutions provides a comprehensive fire protection package which is appropriate for fighting fires in remote locations. The packages consist of apparatus and equipment options, training and also basic fire station shelters. The Rural Fire Protection Systems are typically 12% - 40% of the costs for a traditional fire service. |
