WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTING

Hobrand advises on and supplies professional tools for natural fire fighting. Fire fighting is the oldest and most important task of the fire brigade. The aim of fire fighting is of course to extinguish a fire but also to rescue and evacuate victims, prevent damage or avoid inconvenience. Different types of fire can be distinguished and each type has certain characteristics which influence the method of fighting the fire. Natural fire is a collective term for forest fire, moorland fire, peat fire or dune fire. The most important characteristic of a wildfire is that in the vast majority of cases there is no supply of extinguishing water.
