SMART PUMP™ Capabilities
Built to Deliver Water Beyond Conventional Access
SMART PUMP™ combines high-pressure water delivery, helicopter deployment, foam and gel capability, and advanced operational technology in a platform designed specifically for wildfire operations.
When terrain, access, distance, or firefighter exposure complicates water deliver, SMART PUMP™ gives Operations another option.
Extend Operational Reach
Establish a Water Source Where Apparatus Can’t Go
SMART PUMP™ provides a 1,700-gallon, high-pressure water-delivery platform that can be positioned in remote or difficult terrain to support sustained wildfire operations.
Use it to establish water delivery beyond practical engine or water-tender access while supporting crews and suppression resources from a strategically selected location.
HOSE LAYS
Establish and maintain high-pressure water delivery into remote operating areas.
HAND CREW SUPPORT
Provide crews with a dependable water source without requiring conventional apparatus at the pump location.
POINT PROTECTION
Position water capability near critical values, structures, infrastructure, or tactical locations.
EXTENDED OPERATIONS
Support sustained water delivery where distance, terrain, or access makes conventional equipment difficult to position.
The objective isn't simply moving a pump farther into the field.
It's putting usable water capability where Operations needs it.
Helicopter-Supported Water Delivery
Fly the Water Source to the Operation.
SMART PUMP™ is designed for deployment by Type 2 and larger helicopters, allowing Operations to establish a substantial water source in locations beyond conventional vehicle access.
Once positioned, the 1,700-gallon SMART PUMP™ can support helicopter bucket filling and ground suppression operations from the same remote location.
HELICOPTER DEPLOYABLE
Move SMART PUMP™ into remote terrain where road access is limited or nonexistent.
SPLASH-OUT BAFFLES
Integrated baffles reduce water splash-out during helicopter bucket filling, helping retain more water in the tank.
1,700-GALLON CAPACITY
Establish a substantial water supply for helicopter bucket filling and ground operations.
HELI-WELL™ AUTOMATIC FILL
When configured for HELI-WELL™ operation, SMART PUMP™ automatically maintains the tank water supply, reducing the need for continuous operator involvement.
One remote water source.
Supporting both aviation and ground operations.
Built For Changing Conditions
More Than Straight-Water Delivery
SMART PUMP™ gives Operations flexibility to adapt the water-delivery system to the mission, terrain, and suppression strategy.
FOAM & GEL CAPABILITY
Both Type 2 SMART PUMP™ configurations provide foam and gel application capability, giving incident personnel additional suppression options when the mission calls for more than straight water.
BUILT FOR DIFFICULT TERRAIN
Independently adjustable leveling legs allow SMART PUMP™ to be stabilized on uneven ground, helping Operations establish a usable water source in locations where conventional apparatus access may be difficult or impossible.
Different terrain.
Different missions.
One adaptable water-delivery platform.
