Types of Forest Fire Pump
High‑Pressure Centrifugal Forest Pump
The high‑pressure centrifugal forest fire pump is the most widely used type for wildland firefighting. It features a single‑stage or multistage impeller design that delivers excellent pressure and flow for hose lays up to several kilometers. Typical models are powered by 2‑stroke or 4‑stroke gasoline engines with recoil or electric start. The pump body is made of lightweight aluminum alloy or stainless steel to resist corrosion from dirty water.
These pumps offer high efficiency, continuous operation, and easy priming (manual or automatic). They can be used in series (tandem) to boost pressure for uphill attacks or in parallel to increase flow for large‑scale suppression. Many models include a pressure regulator, fuel tank, and protective frame for rough field handling.
Diaphragm (Positive Displacement) Forest Pump
Diaphragm forest fire pumps are positive displacement pumps that can run dry for extended periods without damage, making them ideal for situations where water supply may be intermittent (e.g., drawing from shallow streams or puddles). They produce very high pressure (up to 2.3 MPa) at relatively low flow rates, which is excellent for penetrating dense brush or long, small‑diameter hose lines.
These pumps are often self‑priming and can handle water with sand or debris better than centrifugal pumps. They are typically driven by gasoline engines and are heavier than centrifugal types of equivalent power. Many firefighters prefer diaphragm pumps for direct attack on ground fires because of their reliable priming and pressure stability.
To combine the advantages of both technologies, some advanced forest fire pumps incorporate a dual‑system design: a centrifugal stage for high flow and a diaphragm stage for high pressure, selectable by the operator.
