TTi’s fire fighting trailers are multi-purpose, making them an incredibly versatile option for a range of industries.

Being fire ready in Australia is extremely important, especially during the bushfire season, which typically occurs between October and April. The hot, dry climate that Australia is known for causes fires that can be a significant threat to property, the environment, and human life. Therefore, it is essential for individuals and communities to be prepared and aware of fire safety measures.

Our range of fire fighting water tanks and fire fighting equipment can help you be prepared in case of an emergency. Whether you’re in need of a smaller, portable fire fighting unit to service your property or a larger one, TTi’s range of fire fighting equipment will help you protect your property in the case of an emergency.

At the heart of all our fire fighting equipment is a high-quality fire fighting water tank. Our fire fighting water tanks are all made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, backed up with a 20-year warranty that ensures your tank will stand the test of time. You are able to purchase these tanks in a range of different sizes. Our tanks hold anything between 16L (for smaller equipment like our knapsack portable units) to 3000L, common for any of our fire fighting trailers. No matter your need, TTi has the fire fighting water tank for you to assist with protection against fires on your property.

A portable fire fighting unit can be as simple as a tank of water with a pump, hose and spray nozzle attached. Water tank size and hose length can differ depending on the model you buy and what you plan to use the tank for. But all portable fire fighting equipment operates under the same principle – that you can quickly and rapidly respond to any fire fighting situation. 

Most of TTi’s range of fire fighting equipment can be loaded onto the back of a ute or attached as a trailer to a truck, making transport easy. You can also invest in a knapsack model for more minor, controlled fire fighting situations. When choosing your equipment, consider where you’ll be using the equipment so that you can adapt based on any accessibility requirements.

Portable fire fighting equipment should be simple to use and easy to manoeuvre so it can be ready at a moment’s notice and used almost instantly. Notably, the TTi range of fire fighting equipment doesn’t just include large trailer tanks; it also has smaller equipment like the portable knapsack fire fighting units, which carry up to 16L of water. 

TTi’s portable fire fighting equipment was created with rapid response in mind – our equipment is focused on being simple and quick to use in high-pressure situations. 

If your property is within or close to a fire danger zone, it is essential to ensure you have all the tools necessary to protect your property. Fire fighting units are a practical solution for property owners, as they have a wide range of applications outside of direct fire fighting. 

You can also use the TTi range of fire fighting equipment in the following ways:

• Controlled back burning (as a preventative measure ahead of fire season)
• Stock or tree watering
• Wash down
• Irrigation
• Dust suppression
• Water transportation

Preparation and rapid response are key when talking about fighting fires. TTi’s range of portable fire fighting equipment helps you to prepare and effectively deal with smaller fires before they get out of control. When it comes to fire fighting, you don’t want to deal with anything but the best. Get a fire fighting solution you can rely on here with TTi.

We stock fire fighting water tanks in a huge range of sizes. The size of the tank will be restricted by the type of fire fighting equipment you are looking at – sizes will vary depending on your choice between knapsack equipment, mobile slip-on units, and water trailers. If you have a larger property, and need to hold more litres on your property, a water trailer will offer you the option of the largest volume tank we own. You may want to combine it with smaller size tanks that are suited to knapsacks or slip-on units, to provide yourself with options when it comes to maintaining your property or fighting fire.

The lifespan of fire fighting water tanks and other fire fighting equipment can depend on several things: quality of the equipment, frequency of use and general maintenance. If you take good care of your fire fighting equipment, you could be using the same materials for decades. Hoses, nozzles and pumps may have a shorter lifespan, but TTi water tanks are built with polyethylene and are made to withstand hard outdoor conditions.

There are a number of key fire safety tips everyone should know, whether or not your property is located in a fire zone. 

• Stay informed: Keep up to date with weather conditions, fire warnings, and advice from local authorities through news sources, websites, or social media. If you notice smoke or flames, let emergency services know.
• Create a fire plan: Develop a fire plan for your home, including an evacuation route, meeting point, and a list of emergency contacts. Make sure everyone in your household knows the plan. 
• Maintain your property: Regularly clear leaves, debris, and flammable materials from around your home, gutters, and roof. Trim overhanging branches and maintain a firebreak (a gap between your home and potential fuel sources like bushes or trees).
• Install and maintain smoke alarms: Ensure smoke alarms are installed on each level of your home and regularly test and replace batteries.
• Have fire-fighting equipment: It’s important to keep any fire fighting equipment like extinguishers and fire blankets in easy-to-access locations. As well as these items, make sure your fire fighting water tank is full and ready to be used, in case of an emergency. Ensure that everyone in your household knows how to operate every piece of equipment – the extinguisher, the fire blanket and any portable fire fighting water tanks.

Being fire ready can reduce the risk of fire damage to your own home and property. There are a couple of key items to have on hand if your property falls within a fire zone: 

• Emergency kit: Assemble an emergency kit that includes important documents, medication, a battery-operated radio, a flashlight with spare batteries, a first-aid kit, and any necessary items for your family and pets.
• Protective clothing: Have long-sleeved shirts, long pants, sturdy shoes, gloves, hats, and masks available to protect against heat, embers, and smoke.
• Water and food supplies: Keep a supply of non-perishable food and water in case of evacuation or a prolonged emergency.
• Communication devices: Keep mobile phones, chargers, and spare batteries handy to stay connected with family members and receive updates from authorities.
• Evacuation items: Prepare a list of essential items to take with you in case of evacuation, including your emergency kit, personal items, and items for your pets.
