During a bushfire, 95% of homes lost are due to Ember Attack!
BUSHFIRE ATTACK LEVEL - LOW
Radiant Heat Exposure - 0 to 12.5 kW per m2
This is the lowest BAL rating you can receive in a bushfire prone area which indicates that there is risk of ember attack but the possible radiant heat flux exposure will not be greater than 12.5kW per square metre. This rating means there are no special construction requirements.
Recommended Product
We recommend starting with our Aussie Drencher Starter Pack, it contains all the hardware to set up a sprinkler system to defend an average home on the bush urban interface. All you need to add is a couple of quality 1/2" garden hoses and you can defend up to a 25 Linear meter frontage. The kit can be expanded to cover more area if needed.
It can be attached to a garden tap, water tank pump or a fire fighting pump.
Uninterrupted Water Supply
Having a stand alone water supply is a crucial consideration for your home bushfire ember defence. Towns water will fail or drop in pressure and cannot be relied upon during a bushfire.
You have a 3 options
- Fire Fighting Pump and a Static Water Supply (SWS).
- Electric Pump & Generator or Solar Battery Bank and a SWS.
- Gravity fed system with SWS.
The Aussie Drencher has been designed to work with all these options, due to its water efficiency and low water pressure requirements.
