ISK Fire Survival

Fire Intervention in Forest

Despite being an indispensable element in the comprehensive safety kit, to deal with risk situations due to entrapment with pumper vehicles, its different of features combined with its effectiveness, make the device an element with a variety of applications in the different firefighting and rescue services.
It is used in interventions related to the protection of people or property, that may be threatened by fire, as well as an element of special interest to help establish and promote the protection, extinction and safety of personnel involved in all those operations of extinction and rescue that imply an imminent risk or threat to combatant personnel. This, combined with its adaptation ability to the different sources of water supply (fixed-mobile), coming from boost systems and firefighting networks, such as extinguishing vehicles, motor pumps, etc; make it a device with applications in different sectors and users.
