en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bundaberg, Queensland-based manufacturer TRHC is expanding its firefighting support in remote areas, launching Australian-made mobile firefighting systems to address growing fire risks. The company is supplying SNUFIT and CAFAID firefighting systems to frontline fire crews in Queensland and South Australia, with multiple units already installed on fire trucks.
TRHC says the trailer-mounted CAFAID unit is the focus of this rollout, one of the first such units on the market. The mobile firefighting system can be towed by a variety of vehicles, allowing regional fire brigades to gain compressed air foam capability in areas where heavy fire trucks cannot operate. The CAFAID system features a simplified design with no moving parts or complex synchronization systems, delivering consistent foam output and compatibility with existing pump units. TRHC National Operations Manager Garth Hanson said: "Many regional fire brigades don't have the budget or access to heavy CAFS trucks, and the portable CAFAID system provides them with the same firefighting capability." The company recently supplied three CAFAID units to the Queensland Fire Department for use in high-risk areas.
TRHC is also increasing production of the SNUFIT system, a mobile firefighting system designed for rapid fire suppression, suitable for medium to heavy water tankers and compatible with a range of diesel engines. As extreme fire weather increases across Australia, local demand for domestically manufactured equipment is rising. Hanson said: "People care about cost, lead times, and local manufacturing. Imported systems don't necessarily adapt to our terrain and weather, and local fire crews need equipment suited to high temperatures, dust, and remote areas." TRHC emphasizes that its systems support both fire suppression and prevention, including asset protection and perimeter wetting, to address unpredictable fire behavior.
