CAFS changes the way fires are attacked, how quickly they can be extinguished and limits the damage fires can inflict. No one understands this better than Waterous. We’ve led the charge in CAFS deployment by developing the most advanced CAFS in the industry. To date, Waterous offers 30 unique CAFS units to meet the needs of departments worldwide. So it’s no wonder that the most used and trusted CAFS come from us.
Waterous CAFSystems give the ability to:
- Pump plain water
- Pump foam solution (water with Class A foam)
- Pump compressed air foam with varying expansion rates from multiple discharges simultaneously
- Pump compressed air for use with rescue tools
