Fire Quench Bushfire Protection System

Fire Quench is a stand alone, automated bushfire protection system. It is designed to protect homes, buildings and infrastructure from the threat of external fires.

A fire wall will come out cheaper. A satellite tech. is good. Then what we need to know is : electrical supply and HP pump, volume of water supply needed to sustain the time of burning. thanks!

[FireQnch]

The system runs off mains power with auto switching to battery backup in the event of outage. The pump is of course electric and is sized relative to the installation. The system is "intelligent" it uses water only when required. This is done to conserve water and minimise the size of the water tank. All the essential services have been sized to operate for considerably longer than any historic bushfire threat.

I hope this answers your questions.

the right system in the right time, good on you guys

[FireQnch]

Hi, yes we have spoken to one state authority and they are interested.

[NaniMariaAlb]

That said, would this system have value in urban areas perhaps? I have seen buildings with external sprinklers installed on them.

Hi again, have you spoken with any of the fire authorities about this, I am sure that they would be keen to know about somthing like this!

[FireQnch]

Hi Jimbo

Website is up and running

[ColFingers]

What satellite are you using guys?

[jimbojuniorxxx]

Although this wasn't my idea dude, sorry to disappoint! I'd love to claim it though.

[jimbojuniorxxx]

Oh yeah that would be me!

[jimbojuniorxxx]

Who is james?

[mcphersoni1992]

great idea james

[MarianiAlHer]

This system looks really interesting! Would be a necessary addition to any houses at risk from bush or wild fire. When will the system be commercially available?

[jimbojuniorxxx]

So their respnse was good?! Thats great, I have heard that the RFS in NSW prefers putting in a large fire break to active systems like this, you must have impressed them, keep at it!
