FSV500 Fedco Smoke Chaser Fire Pump, 5 gal, Yellow

The bag and pump handle are well made, the large screw on cap allows for easy filling of the bag. The pump has 2 nozzles conveniently chained to the tip of the pump. The straight stream shoots approx. 30 ft even in a straight up position, and the spray stream shoots approx. 25 feet in a straight or horizontal position. The shoulder straps are good but filling the bag with 5 gallons of water puts the weight around 50 lbs, and without a waist strap makes it difficult to carry for more than 5 minutes. I bought a "Freighter" backpack frame with a padded waist belt, and it makes carrying it much, much easier and tolerable, especially uphill. I bought mine due to a roadside fire I came upon with on a vacation in NM last year. Had I had the "Rig", the fire would have been out in 10 min or less, even the 20-30 ft tall Yucca Catus that was on fire at the top/crown of it. Also, when first using it stroke the pump handle forward to activate it.

Good option for spot fire suppression. I carry it while brush and field mowing as a cya.all it takes is one rock to make a spark. This pump and bag system should last year’s of taken care of properly. However I do know for a fact it does not go well when it’s mowed over.

Unlike the metal or hard plastic ones this tank is comfortable. The straps are not perfect, as they are designed for a broader shouldered person, and lack enough adjustment. My wife and daughter have already used it to put out burning logs after a fire came through.

Used this before. Just like it's been

Great product. I take this along whenever I go camping. Keeping this filled, and handy with a shovel, is perfect for extinguishing campfires.

Can't beat this product for wearable fire protection. You can put out a huge amount of fire with this (in grass of course) and even save some trees if you catch them early enough. Be sure to keep up on lubricating the pump. It shoots about 30 feet.

Stop fire. Well made

Works fine. The only reason for 4 starts is that we use it where we have to fill it in a creek, which i find difficult. However it works and puts out fires.

Funcionan muy bien, tienen buen alcance, se puede regular la salida de agua en chorro o en dispersión, de fácil llenado, muy portátiles y se reparte bien el peso.
