VISUAL PROOF

Dealing with blazes like the one on the

Mega Borg requires adequate capacities and throw lengths.

In the early 80's, SKUM Fi-Fi moni- tors were the first to be installed on

American supply vessels. In fact, SKUM was first with many of the developments leading to today's system technology.

We have nearly sixty years expertise and know-how in fire fighting equipment.

When a situation calls for exceptional resources, we have the products and system solutions.

Whether you are looking for HF vapour suppression, or want to upgrade your sprinkler system with our foam bladder tank/wide range proportioned or need a fire monitor from the widest selection to be found anywhere — look no further. Just call SKUM. -IN CASE OF FIRE -
