Fire Danger, Prepare Now
The CSIRO is warning that Australia is in for a severe fire season with a particular danger on the eastern coastline. This coincides with warnings from firefighting authorities, with the biggest fire danger being the Urban Interface.
Local pump manufacturer, Aussie Pumps, warn that the time to prepare your property is now. Free copies of the Aussie Bushfire Survival Guide are readily available from pump distributors around the Hills District.
The guide stresses the need for preparation of the site, awareness of animal and livestock precautions and the need to move fast to equip before the fire hits. They claim the best form of protection is the Aussie Fire Chief, claimed to be the world’s best lightweight portable fire pump.
The Chief produces 25% more performance than competitors and offers a five year warranty because of it’s top quality components. The best news for consumers is the current price is $800 plus GST, a fraction of the prices charged by older brands that are inferior in performance and overall features.
“We see competitors asking super high prices when the fire season is on”, said Aussie Pumps Sam Loria. Sam stresses the need for getting set up with the right gear including hose kits and adequate water supply as essential.
Further information is available at Australian Pump Industries at Norwest, or authorised dealers in the Hills District including Hills Irrigation at Castle Hill, Ace Ohlsson at McGraths Hill, Dick Petrikas at North Richmond or Glenorie Stockfeeds in Glenorie.
“They can help with great advice and top quality Aussie products”, said Sam
