Home Wildfire Pump and Hose System - Lake Edition

Gas Powered Portable Fire Pump and Hose Systems for home wildfire defense are becoming increasingly popular in California mainly using backyard swimming pools as the water source. Swimming pools can hold up to 50 fire trucks worth of water…

Lakes are even better! Lakes as the water source and an high performance pump and hose system are the holy grail of home firefighting due to the endless supply of firefighting water. A setup like pictured below is simply a must have for every lake front homeowner in a wildfire prone area. The lake is usually quite aways from the structure you are trying to protect so you more often than not will need multiple 100 foot lengths of fire hose connected together to reach it. A high performance, high pressure pump allows you to overcome the friction loss of a 200-300 ft. total length of fire hose.

Swimming Pools and Gas Powered Fire Pump and Hose Systems for Home Wildfire Defense

A swimming pool can be an essential asset during a wildfire.

Gas powered wildfire pump and hose systems make it easy to draw water from swimming pools, water tanks, ponds, or lakes to help you defend your home from burning down in a wildfire. You can use the water from your swimming pool to pre-treat structures with Barricade Gel, spray down your roof, or quickly extinguish spot fires, embers, and flames before the main fire even reaches your area.

Having the right equipment on-site, ready to go, provides a crucial resource for firefighters in protecting your home and property using your own water supply after you evacuate. 

These gas powered fire pump and hose systems range in price depending on the amount of pressure it puts out and length and quality of the fire hose it comes with. High Pressure Fire Pump and Hose Systems are great if you require 200-300 feet of fire hose or if you need to shoot water to the roof of a 3 story building, but most homeowners will be just fine with standard fire pump system with 100 feet of fire hose. Having a system built by an experienced professional with the proper connections is key to ensuring it starts and primes correctly when you need to actually use it.
