Product description

SnakE® wildfire set: spray bar and rotary sprinklers in one box

Lay the wet line and hold the line, with one system

The wildfire set is the SnakE® complete set for fire departments without an existing SnakE® system, extended by four rotary sprinkler nozzles. While driving, your vehicle lays the wet line with the spray bar; for the holding line, you strap the same modules with a rotary sprinkler nozzle to a tree or building: without tying up personnel, even on slopes.

✅ Complete spray bar: bar, 4 nozzles, supply line with filter, connecting hoses

✅ 4 rotary sprinkler nozzles: throw up to 14 m at 4 bar, approx. 24 l/min per sprinkler

✅ Tool-free on the DIN shackles: conversion in under 3 minutes

✅ Strapped to a tree: the lightest rotary sprinkler system for tree mounting

✅ D hose system: combines with your existing equipment

✅ All in one Euro box (60 × 40 × 19 cm): every vehicle has room for that

Outside wildfire deployments the SnakE® modules remain freely usable, for example for EV underbody cooling or emergency decontamination.

Step by step

Retrofit the spray bar: ready in under 3 minutes

Five steps, tool-free and with minimal personnel. What fire departments say about it appears right next to each step.

Mounting the SnakE® spray bar on the DIN shackles Original mounting

Original footage: hang it on the DIN shackles, couple up, done. With sound and in full length further down in the video section.

  1. Nozzle modules on the spray bar create a spray curtain over the vegetation

    Clip modules on

    Clamp the nozzle modules onto the folding bar and secure them with the spring catches.

    „One Euro box, that's all the space the complete wildfire retrofit needs. We even had a free compartment for it on our TSF-W.“

    Fire chief · Rhineland-Palatinate fire department
  2. Responder holding the spray bar with the hose connected

    Couple up

    Couple the modules with pre-assembled D hoses for an even spray pattern.

  3. Two responders mount the spray bar on the front of the vehicle

    Mount on the vehicle

    Lock it tool-free onto the DIN shackles using the elastic mounts.

    „Unfold it, hang it on the shackles, water on. At the first drill the bar was ready for action in under three minutes, with no tools and no manual in hand.“

    Fire chief · Fire department in Bavaria
  4. Supply line with Storz D coupling on the spray bar

    Connect the water

    Central supply line via Storz D, the doors always stay clear.

  5. Fire engine wetting a firebreak along the edge of a field with the spray bar

    Drive off

    Wet the firebreak and contain the spread, right from the vehicle.

    „A team used to have to walk alongside the vehicle with the nozzle in sweltering heat. Today the crew members stay in the vehicle, a driver and pump operator are enough. That takes a real load off our people.“

    Zugführer · Hesse fire department

Deployment tip Whether TSF-W or TLF: the spray bar mounts at the front or rear and upgrades any pump-and-roll-capable vehicle.

Lay the wet line. Extend the effect. Hold the line.

The spray bar lays the wet line from the vehicle. Retardant extends its effect, the rotary sprinkler holds the line. Three building blocks that work together.

More than wildfire

One system for many incidents

The same nozzle modules upgrade your existing vehicle and cover other incidents between deployments. The spray mist also knocks down smoke gases and dust, protecting your vehicle's radiator.

FAQs

Spray bar FAQs

Questions? We're standing by. Call us.

+49 1522 8790057Direct line to the founder
What does a fire department spray bar cost?

The Wildfire Spray Bar without nozzles for existing SnakE® modules costs €650.00 net, the complete Spray Bar Set €2,226.89 net and the Wildfire Set with 4 rotary sprinklers €2,922.22 net. From 3 units of a set, you get a 6% volume discount. Net, VAT and gross are calculated right next to the price above.

How do the prices work?

All prices are net prices, plus 19% VAT; net, VAT and gross are calculated right next to the price, also for multiple units. You get the quote with line items and delivery time.

Is there a volume discount for multiple vehicles?

Yes. From 3 Spray Bar Sets or from 3 Wildfire Sets, you get 6% off the net price. If you set the quantity to 3 above, the calculation deducts the discount right away, and it appears the same way in your inquiry.

Which vehicles are suitable for the spray bar?

Any pump-and-roll-capable vehicle with DIN shackles, from TSF-W to TLF. The spray bar requires pump-and-roll capability and upgrades the vehicle: hung tool-free at the front or rear, water via a Storz D supply line.

Can I retrofit front spray nozzles for self-protection?

Yes. New wildland fire engines often have front spray nozzles for self-protection. With the SnakE® spray bar you retrofit your existing vehicle: tool-free on the DIN shackles, front or rear, with 2.25 m spray width. The prerequisite is a pump-and-roll-capable vehicle.

How much water does the spray bar use?

With four nozzles, 72 l/min at 3 bar and 92 l/min at 5 bar, approx. 20 l/min per nozzle. With 1,000 l in the tank at 3 km/h you lay around 690 m of wet line; the wet line calculator on this page works it out for your vehicle.

Can I get a demo?

Yes. By arrangement, we demonstrate the spray bar on site at your fire department. Just select “Request an on-site demo” in the form below, and we will get back to you with a proposed date.

Can you drive the spray bar into the fire?

No. The SnakE® spray bar secures the black (burned-over area) and wets firebreaks. The tactic is containment before the fire spreads.

What is the advantage over conventional pump and roll?

Your crews ride in the fire engine instead of walking alongside in PPE in the heat. That lowers strain and accident risk, and the water is distributed far more evenly.

Does the Wildfire Set need a SnakE® base system?

No. Bar, nozzles, supply line and four rotary sprinkler nozzles are included, all in one Euro box. If your fire department already has a SnakE® system, the spray bar without nozzles is all you need.

What do the rotary sprinklers in the Wildfire Set do?

For the holding line, you strap the same modules with a rotary sprinkler nozzle to a tree or building: no personnel needed, even on slopes, with a throw of up to 14 m at 4 bar and approx. 24 l/min per sprinkler. Available individually as the Tree Rotary Sprinkler, and for structure protection as the Rotary Sprinkler Set.

Must the spray bar mount at the front?

No. For laying firebreaks you can mount it at the front or at the rear. That way the spray bar also works on a TSF-W.

How do you retrofit the spray bar?

Tool-free on your vehicle's DIN shackles: unfold, set it once to the width of your shackles, hook the shackles into the elastic rubber tensioners and lock, done. The mounting video above shows every step.

Does the spray bar protect the radiator?

Yes. The spray mist knocks down dust and binds it, so your vehicle's radiator stays clean.

What if your fire department already has a SnakE® set?

Then the Wildfire Spray Bar without nozzles is all you need: your existing SnakE® modules simply clamp on and are secured with spring catches. Usable with SnakE® 4 Basic and above.

Does the spray bar work with retardant?

Yes. Retardant Euro-FC is mixed into the extinguishing water, typically at 0.5 to 3%. The spray bar applies the mixed solution evenly over a wide area.

What other equipment do you need for vegetation fires?

For water supply in open terrain, the Kamel® Wildfire Folding Tank, for the holding line, the Tree Rotary Sprinkler, and for a longer-lasting effect, Retardant Euro-FC. The full range is in Vegetation fire equipment.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. SnakE® comes with a 3-year warranty, direct from the manufacturer in Andernach.

Can you purchase on account?

Yes. Authorities, municipalities and fire departments order on account, XRechnung included. Just request your quote using the form.

What is the delivery time?

Usually 5 to 10 workdays. Heavy or bulky items ship by freight carrier with tracking.
