Firelighter

Firelighter

Controlled burn offs have long been an invaluable tool in the clearing of paddocks, controlling scrub and fire fighting, and ground fuel reductions. Rotor & Wing’s Firefly fire lighting system makes these operations fast, efficient and above all, safe. By setting the fire from the air, the operator can easily gain an overview of the burn off, fuel can be added to areas where the flame front is slowing, and undesired fires can be spotted quickly and stopped before they become a problem.

The Firefly holds up to 140 litres of flammable petroleum gel which is dispensed via an electric pump and positive shut-off valve. The gel is ignited as it leaves the unit by a high amperage spark.

Control of the unit is provided via a cabin mounted control box with a flow rate dial, and a two position switch on the cyclic to turn on and off the pump and igniter.

The entire unit can be safely jettisoned in an emergency, with a breakaway wiring plug incorporated in the design.

Designed and built in-house, we can provide a product that is rugged, functional, easy to maintain, and long lasting.
