Devastating wildfires are occurring with increasing frequency and intensity, highlighting a critical operational challenge: not reaching the fire, but delivering sufficient volumes of water at the pressure required to suppress it. As prolonged incidents continue to stretch firefighting resources, the ability to sustain high-pressure water delivery from open water has become essential for effective fire suppression.
FireTitan is Stronga's hooklift-mounted, multi-modal, high-pressure pumping system, engineered to deliver exceptional water volumes (up to 37,854 L/min) from rivers, lakes and reservoirs directly to the wildfire. Learn more about strengthening your service's operational resilience with market-leading Stronga hooklift fire equipment.
Proven in Real-World Firefighting Operations
The FireTitan transportable fire pump is built around industrial firefighting technology that is well-proven in demanding real-world incidents. Engineered as a high-capacity, fully-packaged portable pumping system for open water drafting, long-distance water relay, wildfire water supply and emergency fire pumping, FireTitan combines dependable performance with exceptional deployment flexibility.
The photos below show a live demonstration at Dubai Marina, evidencing the fire pump’s ability to draft directly from rivers, lakes, reservoirs, harbours and other open water sources, while providing the sustained high-volume water delivery required for prolonged wildfire incidents.
Long-Distance Water Relay
During major wildfire incidents, it is often impossible to access sufficient water close to the fireground, making it necessary to move large volumes of water over considerable distances from lakes, reservoirs or other open water sources. FireTitan is designed for the challenge with powerful, high-pressure pumping that can relay water through extended hose lays across vast distances, maintaining a continuous supply of water to the fireground.
The 3D image below visualises the hooklift FireTitan wildfire concept. The diesel-driven transportable pump can be dropped off in the optimum position relative to the wildfire, allowing the hooklift vehicle to disengage and continue supporting operations elsewhere. Multiple FireTitan units can be strategically deployed to simultaneously attack the fire from several directions, establishing sustained, high-pressure water delivery across a wide fire front.
Multi-Platform Transport Flexibility
The hooklift FireTitan combines proven industrial firefighting technology with the versatility of a modular, multi-modal transport platform.
Available as a hooklift-mounted unit or 20 ft ISO container-mounted system, the transportable firewater pump can be deployed using hooklift trucks, ISO skeletal trailers behind standard articulated trucks, or other compatible transport platforms. This multi-mode configuration provides exceptional operational flexibility, rapid mobilisation and straightforward international deployment wherever high-capacity pumping is required.
FireTitan: Firewater Pump Key Features
1) Available in 3 Models – Choose from 6,000 GPM (22,712 L/min), 8,000 GPM (30,283 L/min) and 10,000 GPM (37,854 L/min) configurations to deliver exceptional water flow for wildfire response applications.
2) Proven Industrial Firefighting Technology – Built around premium diesel engines and world-class centrifugal pumps, FireTitan delivers dependable, high-performance pumping capability for the most demanding incidents.
3) Direct Drafting from Open Water – Exceptionally-powerful suction potential enables FireTitan to draft water over long distances from static water sources, providing a reliable water supply where hydrants are unavailable.
4) Hooklift Mobility – Mounted on a robust hooklift skid, FireTitan can be rapidly transported and deployed using existing hooklift vehicles, allowing fire services to position high-capacity pumping power exactly where it is needed.
5) Simple Operation & Low Maintenance – Straightforward controls, proven components, “change-while-running” fuel filters and low routine maintenance requirements help optimise availability throughout the fire season.
6) Customised Equipment Stowage – Purpose-designed, lockable stowage lockers are optimised to each customer's requirements, providing storage for firefighting equipment and tools, ensuring essential items are protected, organised and immediately accessible.
7) Integrated Hose Storage – Purpose-designed suction and discharge hose racks can be incorporated, providing safe, rapid access to hoses while reducing deployment time at the incident scene.
8) Intake Filter Protection – High-capacity intake filters are available to protect the pump when drafting water from lakes, rivers and reservoirs, helping to maintain reliable performance.
9) Floating Strainers – Optional floating strainers can be supplied to optimise water extraction, minimising the intake of sediment and debris, protecting the pumping system while maintaining consistent flow rates.
10) Crane Deployment – In addition to rapid hooklift deployment, FireTitan can be equipped with a certified lifting system and spreader beam to crane the firewater pump into otherwise inaccessible locations or onto skeletal trailers.
11) On-Board Lighting – High-performance LED scene lighting can be integrated to illuminate the pump, hose connections and surrounding work area during night-time operations or periods of poor visibility.
12) Additional Equipment & Tool Storage – The fully-packaged transportable firewater pump can be equipped with other required firefighting tools, fittings, adaptors, extinguishers and operational accessories, to the specific requirements of the fire service.
As extreme weather events become more frequent, operational resilience increasingly depends on moving and delivering large volumes of water quickly and efficiently. Drafting directly from natural water sources, the transportable Stronga firewater pump provides the performance needed to sustain firefighting operations in remote and challenging environments.
