What are Fire Drip Torches used for?
Fire drip torches are vital tools in controlled burning, especially across the agricultural sector, land management, and rural firefighting. They’re used to safely ignite vegetation during backburning operations, a strategic method to reduce fuel loads and lower the risk of large, uncontrolled bushfires.
What makes Bushfire Store’s Fire Drip Torches reliable?
Our fire drip torches are purpose built for tough Australian conditions and frequent use in controlled burning operations. Each model reflects robust construction and design, with a heat resistant metal body, sturdy fuel tank, and non-slip handle to ensure safe handling in rugged terrain.
They’re designed to last, whether you’re a farmer preparing firebreaks or a civil worker conducting hazard reduction burns.
Can I control the intensity of the flame?
Yes, and this is one of their most valuable features. Each torch has a precision adjustable wick system, allowing you to fine tune the fuel flow. This means you have direct control over flame intensity and spread, essential for safe and effective burns in varying terrain or conditions.
How safe are your drip torches?
Bushfire Store drip torches are engineered with safety in mind. Standard features include:
- A secure fuel cap to prevent leaks
- A fuel tap to regulate flow
- A check valve to stop backflow of fuel
These safeguards help operators work with confidence, knowing that their equipment is designed to reduce risks during use.
What kind of fuel do these torches use?
Our torches are compatible with commonly available fuels including:
The large, easy to fill tank reduces refuelling time in the field, and their simple design makes maintenance and cleaning straightforward.
How do Fire Drip Torches support bushfire prevention?
By enabling efficient fuel load management, drip torches help reduce the build up of dry vegetation, which can fuel devastating fires. They’re also commonly used to:
- Establish or maintain firebreaks
- Conduct backburning in rural fire brigade operations
- Protect agricultural and natural assets from the spread of bushfires
They give landowners and emergency responders greater control over fire behavior in planned burns.
