Fire Pumps and Seasonal Information

This blog page includes information on the Homeowner Swimming Pool Fire Pump and articles on seasonal fire information for homeowners.  In addition, useful information on things that can be done to improve one’s home defense against wildfire is also provided.

  • Pump Maintenance

Particularly, fire pump maintenance is covered in these articles as well the best fuel to use for your engine.  Best of all, startup and shutdown procedures to ensure your system stays in optimum operating condition is also discussed.

As many homeowners find, eventually fire season ends and it is time to store your fire pump.  So winterizing it properly is essential.

  • Preparing for Fire Season

Homeowners that live in fire prone suburban areas are particularly vulnerable to wildland fires.   Removing brush and grass are typical things that can be done to slow advancing fire.  However, there are other things such as installing roll shutters and covering the under the roof overhangs with fire resistant materials that can significantly reduce fire risk.

  • Pumps are king in a fire

In addition, fire sprinklers can do a lot to prevent homes, and outbuildings from catching fire.  The single biggest advantage that homeowners with swimming pools can have is a Pool Fire Pump.  These systems can be used to wet the flammable brush down as well as the buildings.  Furthermore, these systems can be used by fire departments even if the homeowner is not home.   Water is a fireman’s friend and the more you can provide at your home to assist the fire department the more likely your home will survive a wildfire.

  • Seasonal fire information

Cat 6 Tools, a distributor of one of the finest homeowner fire pumps normally sends out Eblasts on fire pumps and seasonal information to customers to let them know it is time to break out their fire pumps to get ready for the fire season.

Finally, the only way to beat wildfires is by preparing.
