The Water Company supplies Normac Fire Chief Bakkie Units designed to provide mobile firefighting capability for farms, forestry operations, game reserves, estates, construction sites and industrial properties. These self-contained units combine a water tank, engine-driven high-pressure pump and firefighting equipment in a compact configuration designed for suitable utility vehicles.
Built for rapid deployment in areas where fixed firefighting infrastructure may be limited, Normac Fire Chief units can help operators respond to veld, grass and bush fires while supporting other compatible water delivery tasks.
How to choose the correct fire chief unit:
When selecting a Normac Fire Chief unit, consider the following:
Tank capacity: Choose a suitable water volume for your operating environment, vehicle payload and expected firefighting requirements.
Vehicle compatibility: Confirm the dimensions, mounting arrangement, loaded weight and vehicle payload capacity before installation.
Engine type: Compare the available petrol and diesel options based on your operating requirements and maintenance preferences.
Pump performance: Check the specified flow rate and pressure at the required operating conditions.
Hose and nozzle configuration: Confirm the hose length, reel arrangement, nozzle type and number of available outlets.
Water supply options: Determine whether you need to draw water from the onboard tank, an external source or both.
Accessories: Check whether hoses, hose fittings, couplings and additional firefighting equipment are included in the selected package.
Important installation and operating considerations:
A bakkie-mounted firefighting unit must be securely installed and suitable for the vehicle’s payload and load distribution. The water tank, equipment and mounting frame all contribute to the total loaded weight.
Follow the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions. Confirm the pump’s priming procedure, keep the required delivery path open during priming, and operate the system within its specified limits. Firefighting equipment should be selected and maintained according to the risks and requirements of the site where it will be used.
