ATV SYSTEMS FIGHT FIRES ON ANY TERRAIN

The IFEX solution for fire fighting in inaccessible terrain are the specially designed IFEX ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles). For example, the ATV's currently in use by some of our clients are based on the Honda FourTrax Foreman motorcycle and carry a large (50-70 liter) watertank plus a 55 meter hose reel with the Impulse Gun mounted on the ATV frame. Where high flexibility is required, the ATV's increase the firefighter's versatility and enable him to reach the site of the fire speedily regardless of terrain conditions.
