Rural Area Defence Unit

Own the first 15 to 20 minutes.

A hand-built, first-response fire unit for remote homes, smallholdings, estates and properties against the mountain slopes — where the nearest hydrant is too far and the brigade is minutes away.

The DFW Rural Area Defence Unit — Hyundai pump, hose reel, rolled flatlines and a brigade standpipe inside a lockable steel cage, standing beside a barn and stables.

Firepower in your own yard

Remote homes, smallholdings, wine estates and properties against the mountain slopes often sit far from the nearest fire hydrant. When a fire starts, the first 15 to 20 minutes decide everything — long before the fire brigade can arrive. The Rural Area Defence Unit puts real first-response firepower in your own yard. If you have a swimming pool, you already have the water; if you don't, the 5,000-litre tank is your reserve.

Where it fits

One unit, built for the places a hydrant can't reach — homes, animals and working buildings alike.

The unit beside a house and swimming pool, drawing water from the pool.

Homes & poolside

Remote and mountain-slope homes. If there's a pool, it's already your water supply — no tank needed.

The unit beside a barn and stables with horses and hay in the background.

Stables & barns

Hay stores, tack rooms and stabling, where a spark takes hold fast and animals are at risk.

The unit with its 5,000-litre tank inside a workshop or factory hall.

Farm sheds & factory halls

Workshops, packing sheds and warehouses far from a hydrant — the 5,000 L tank is the ready reserve.

Specification

Fire pump
Davey two-stage fire pump — 8 bar working pressure.
Engine
7 HP Hyundai petrol engine, hand-start.
Hose
60 m × 25 mm dragline hose reel with twin-stage nozzle.
Water supply
5 m suction line — draws from the 5,000 L tank or directly from your swimming pool.
Brigade coupling
South African fire-brigade-standard coupling — your home becomes a water point: feed the arriving brigade or DFW from your pool or tank, or run your own lines.
Cage
Lockable, floor-anchored, weatherproof steel cage — discreet, theft-resistant, and built to stand outside.
Hose layout
Your choice at no change in price: a single 60 m dragline reel, or the reel plus two 38 mm flatlines with a twin-stage nozzle.

Two ways to buy it — tank or pool

With 5,000 L tank
R69,000

The complete, self-contained unit — your own on-site water reserve, no pool needed.

Pool-fed
R63,000

Same pump, hose and cage — it draws straight from your swimming pool, which becomes your reserve.

The only difference in price is the on-site water tank. The pump, engine, hose and cage are identical.

Prices in South African Rand. DFW Pro (Pty) Ltd — VAT registration in progress.

Fit it on wheels — add R1,600. The unit rolls easily across a smooth floor or pool area, and can be brought indoors over winter — ideal for owners who'd rather move and store it than anchor it in place.
Kept ready for the day you need it. A pump that won't start in an emergency is no protection at all. Every unit comes with an optional annual service-and-test plan at R1,800 a year — we keep it started, tested and ready, every season.

A first-response system for the critical early minutes — not a replacement for the fire brigade.
