Water
Rated up to 38 L a day*, with 150 L stored (design capacity) for crews coming off the line.
A squad Rally Point unit gives fire crews and mountain towns drinking water, charging and a satellite link at the staging area, far from town.
Wildfire staging areas and spike camps sit on remote forest roads. Crews drink a lot of water on the line, and radios and phones need a charge every night.
Smoke and terrain block cell signals, and every water and fuel run takes a truck off other work.
