Created for flexibility and ease of use, the Macaw® Backpack delivers efficient fire suppression in difficult-to-access areas, offering quick deployment and lightweight handling during emergencies.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The award-winning Macaw® Backpack is a compact and ergonomic portable CAFS with a five-gallon tank powered by a high-pressure SCBA air cylinder or a low-pressure air compressor port. Much more powerful than a standard extinguisher, its carried water can be multiplied up to 175 gallons of finished foam with up to a 30-foot throw distance for enhanced exposure protection. It’s the perfect rapid response unit for laying down wet lines, controlling flare-ups, hot spotting, knockdown and more.
Totally self-contained, the Macaw is widely used by the US Military as well as wildland fire and industry professionals. Ease of operation has been combined with rugged construction to create a portable system that is reliable and ready for instant response in the most demanding situations.
