- Abstract
The forest fire is one of the biggest damage that the forests are subject and the biggest difficulty in their fight is related to water availability near the occurrence. In this context, the objective of this research was to analyze the efficiency of water use when using combat kit, CAF'S and water truck in fighting forest fires. The study consisted of the analysis of three distinct fighting Forest fires systems (Kit combat, CAF'S and water truck), which were analyzed using the following parameters: flow, total usage time, usage time per 1,000 liters of water, incomeand total volume available. All parameters showed statistical differences by the Tukey test at 5% probability between combat systems and Technologies used. The CAF'S system with a pressurized foam technology achieved the best rates, since, showed good results in all aspects evaluated, the main one being the ability to transform the foam in water volume, providing a large total volume available.
