Firefly Fire Pumps introduces New Forest Fire Protection Products to Safeguard India’s Forests and Communities.
In light of the escalating threat posed by forest fires across India, Firefly Fire Pumps, Asia’s foremost fire pump manufacturer, is proud to announce the expansion of its product range to include advanced forest fire fighting equipment. With a legacy spanning over six decades, Firefly Fire Pumps has been a cornerstone of fire services across India and an esteemed global exporter.
Firefly has recently collaborated with Vallfirest – Spain, as this the only global company which offers a comprehensive 360-degree solution for forest fire extinction with over 25 specialized products.
Our latest initiative reflects our commitment to addressing the growing need for effective forest fire management solutions.
According to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, forest fires impact an alarming 3.73 million hectares (Mha) of forest land annually. The National Forest Inventory program of the Forest Survey of India (FSI) highlights that 9.89% of forest areas are heavily affected by fires, while 54.40% are mildly affected. This data underscores a stark reality: nearly two-thirds of India’s forested regions are vulnerable to the ravages of fire. Each year, forest fires erupt in approximately half of the country's 647 districts and nearly all states, posing a significant challenge to forest conservation and community safety.
In response to these pressing issues, Firefly Fire Pumps is expanding its product lineup to include a comprehensive range of forest fire protection equipment, developed in collaboration with Vallfirest, a leader in wildland firefighting technology from Spain. This strategic partnership aims to enhance firefighting efficiency, protect communities, and preserve forests amidst evolving fire challenges.
