Choosing firefighting equipment for a farm or rural property is an important decision. You want a system that matches your property, water needs, available space, and emergency plan. Valley Implement currently offers two Enduraplas options in its fire suppression collection: the Fire Ranger™ and Foam Ranger™ . Both are pickup-mounted firefighting sprayers, but they are designed with different spray systems. So, which one should you choose? What Is the Fire Ranger? The Fire Ranger™ is a water-only firefighting sprayer. It uses an Easy-Start™ Honda GX160 5.5 HP engine, Power-Head water pump, and Flame-Slayer™ nozzle.
