High Volume Fire Extinguisher

High Volume Fire Extinguisher COMBINES Accessories 19-5-34 "Our new high-volume fire extinguisher consists of a 25-gal. tank, 12-volt pump, and a 50-ft. hose. Lets you quickly put out fires in the field before they get out of control," says Bill Rutherford, Neilburg, Sask. If a fire occurs, the 25-gal. tank - which is filled with water - can be quickly pressurized by simply hooking a power cord to the vehicle's battery. "It has as much pressure as a fire hydrant," says Rutherford. "The biggest conventional fire extinguishers have a capacity of only about 3 gal. and cost a lot to recharge. All you do with our system is keep it full of water. "The kit includes tank, hoses, mounting brackets, and power cord. Works great on combines, round balers, and trucks. By adding a boom the unit can also be used to spot spray weeds - we attached a boom to the tines on our front-end loader and mounted the tank in the bucket. It'll handle eight or nine 4-gal. per acre nozzles at 40 psi. It can also be used to rinse spray containers, flush radiators in the field, put water in post holes for easier pounding when putting up fences, etc. When mounted in the back of a pickup it becomes a portable unit for fighting stubble or grass fires."
