Making a Fire Fighting Trailer - Forme Industrious

[@bentheguru4986]

Fire Trailers - A couple of points. Usually, these are not something we like to see on a fire ground as the maneuverability of them is very restrictive in the scrub, aka, reversing. While on reversing, longer draw bars can be easier to reverse with as shorts can jack-knife very quick. The other side is the very common poor setup of pump, plumbing and fire hose. Some suggestions for future, your gussets and brace, put low and sink the tote frame down into the frame to help lock it in. When welding near machined surfaces like the stub axles and bearning races, spray with relase agent or even just WD40/CRC and cover them to avoid the weld spatter pitting into them. Greaseing bearings, a little more slap-downward drives in the grease quicker. Wheels/tyres, suggestion is to use same sizes and stud patterns as your 4WD vehicle towing the trailer, spare tyre then universal. This trailer technically will never pass a roadworthy being unsprung and no brakes. If you have option for electric brakes on these, use them. This trailer along in around the 1300-1400 kilo area. Cam-Loc fittings, like all other firefighting fittings, gender indicates flow direction. Males have outward pointing bits and fluids travel out. Females have internal bits and take fluids in. Suction on pump should be female and suction hose male. While on hoses, cary a couple of 3-4M lengths with male/female on each end respectively and put a 3-way ball-valve on the pump inlet for drafting water out of dams or creeks into tote. Same for the pump outlet, feed the larger outlet to the tote via a valve and the small hose can feed off the 1" outlets. Later on, you will learn to appreciate having a 1" delivery fire hose that will move more than twice as much water as that old black 3/4". Pump choice, make sure the pump is a pressure pump and not a trash pump. Trash pumps are designed to move lots of potentially dirty water and low pressures (transfer pump) and are NOT SUITABLE for fire fighting. I have seen even commericially built trucks for QFES/QFD suppling these low pressure pumps of tankers and appliances and then even worse, fitting them with compound setups. A good and quick way with Honda pumps, the case colour. Yellows are single stage pressure (firefighting) pumps and will do a good 60 odd PSI while the red pumps are twin stage and can get over 80PSI while still moving plenty of water. Both yellow and red can still move 350-450Lpm when drafting and self-priming as long as you have some water in the case. "Aussie Pumps" l;ike yours make both trash/transfer pumps and pressure pumps but the cases look the same and no easy to identify markings which is a PITA when we need to identify them in a hurry, if Aussie reading this, paint your bloody cases. Looking at your testing at end, that pump is lacking pressure, might be a transfer pump, upgrading to a Honda Red will be a big pump for you. The most effective use of water in low-intensity fires (Grass and surface fuesl) is high-pressure, low-flow. As for the build, nice welds and strong build.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Ben, Thankyou for the very valuable tips that I hope others can use for their setups. Much appreciated!

[@Mudgrove]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I thought that was a damn good tip. For me, the jockey wheel could be a weld on.. 90 degrees up, 90 degrees down in a second. And yes, plumb the pump so you don't need to waste time priming it. Because when you'll need this...... you'll already be in a bit of a hurry. Make all the stuff onboard do-able in seconds without thinking about it. You'll spend enough time getting it going, and when you're faced with a lot of burny - stuff.... seconds count. BTW, been watching for years mate. Love the channel.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

@Mudgrove huge thanks Mudgrove!

[@gravelrashadventures5051]

we come back because you are good at what you do and you're funny too not too serious and not up yourself lol

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Huge thanks Gravel Rash! Very much appreciated!

[@saschma3543]

And not to forget about his wife 😂 firemen calendar 2025 😂

[@stevenlea4500]

Hi Scott, THE BIGGEST TIP I CAN GIVE YOU IS KEEP FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK AND CARBY AND RUN IT REGULARLY. I had a customer who bought a pump to share with his neighbour because the neighbour had a swimming pool. Problem was he put the pump in the shed and didn't run it after he took it home. Fires looming around Menai Sydney, he decided to get the pump out and get it fire ready, no start. Fuel was off and varnished the carby, something you don't want in an emergency. Regards, Steve. PS: Luv ya workshop!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Steve. Yes I agree. I normally use premium fuel and turn the fuel tap off and run it dry. Huge thanks!

[@BernardMoloney-kz2mu]

Glad to see the correct method of packing wheel bearings and setting of the split pin.😊

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers Bernard! I've been ripped by many a split pin in my aircraft maintenance days.

[@HazItMade]

Not only are you really creative, but I love that there's nothing you can't take on when you've set your mind to it! Nicely done. Maybe take a few orders and make some for the neighbors so you all have the needed kit when the time comes.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Much appreciated! All the best!

[@10101999matt]

Looks great. If you plumb the Suction line into the IBC Outlet the Pump will self prime with the water level above saving alot of headache and time.

[@nordishkiel5985]

Agreed. Having both options (long suction line for creeks and the IBC) will save valuable time if things get hot. A T-Fitting with two ball valves should make it quite easy to switch over. Specialized valves with two positions and three connections will be pricy in that diameter. You can also try to add a dedicated primer tank above the pump with a valve connected to the priming port to ensure you can quickly gravity-prime it if necessary. When there was a fire on the firing range (very common with tracer rounds), the army had "fire swatters", worked quite well for grass fires. Might be worth to put 2 on the trailer for when water runs out or the engine quits. www.blick-aktuell.de/Bilder/In-der-Niederdreeser-Gemarkung-uebte-die-Feuerwehr-579027m.jpg

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Yes I think that would be a great improvement. Much appreciated!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I really appreciate the tips!!

[@warwickbourke]

I wouldn’t miss a video! Always a pleasure to watch and the banter between you and Judy is brilliant! Thanks for providing us with knowledge and entertainment!!! 😁 You can get baffle balls for non baffled tanks if you find the water sloshing is a problem.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers Warwick! I'll look into those baffle balls. All the best!

[@tonysecombe7792]

It's a pleasure to watch a true craftsman doing what he does kudos to you and Judy .

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Tony!

[@mariewoodcock1244]

What a wonderful life you have made for yourselves. We keep coming back because we love your creativity, expertise & humour. Keep up the awesome content. All the best from Perth.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you so much Marie!!

[@Batti2323]

Hi Scott! Of course we are here. I love your little place in the bush and watch everything you make. Great job!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I cannot ask for more than that! Huge thanks!

[@vandyFixer]

I have a similar saw. I like it because you can leave it to do it's thing and get on with something else. It is also reasonably quiet and doesn't throw filings all around the shop.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Perfect for the type of work I do, cheers!

[@bikeridernz6169]

Hi Scott - it's a pleasure - keep making them!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Will do my best.

[@vladb-88]

You bloody awesome mate. Keep doing you 🤜🤛

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Huge thanks Vlad!

[@joshsmith3775]

If you live in the bush, you'll need to defend against bushfires at some point. Great work on rig!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Truth! Thank you Josh!

[@AndrewBrierley]

Good to see old framie practices never die, surprised you didn't lockwire the the tow hitch bolts lol

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Awwww I was tempted to get the lock wire piers out, but like every good framie, a hammer was never far from reach ; ) Thanks Andrew!

[@stevenzinn6011]

Patience is always the least expensive path in any project. We are all glad you have invited us into your daily lives.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Much appreciated Steven!!

[@Booker58]

Good on you Scott it's always good seeing you making things.... Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.. I always look forward to them..

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you!!!

[@Hichamhasan]

Big warm hug from Orléans, France, 2:30 both you and your wife are very lovely, I like your videos and tranquility in them, I particularly like the exchange of smiles between you two.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Wonderful comment, very much appreciated! : )

[@atmm89]

I watch you building your sheds/house, thank you for your return, a pleasure to see you. Allan

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very much appreciated Allan!!

[@thebmac]

Hard work on the videos keeps us coming back! The trailer hubs, I always get grease on the threads, nuts, pin and cover the inside of the dust cap, then you don't find mystery rust when you open them back up. Maybe a storage spot for a set of wheel chocks?. Probably a ton of ideas could get implemented. I'm already looking forward to the update video! haha That galvanized metal is nice though. Great job!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Yes plenty of grease on the exposed metal doesn't hurt. I do need to make a set of decent chocks as this guy has no brakes. I want a tool set on the trailer also in case the carby gets dirt in it or I need to replace the spare plug etc. I always appreciate the comments and feedback!

[@brucemckenna7035]

Great Video Scott. Everyone who lives rural and on acreage should have one of those. Cheers.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Bruce, Yes it's a good investment. Gives us more peace of mind.

[@peterlisyak5396]

We are all idiots, some of us come up with the occasional good idea. Merry Christmas to you and yours just keep doing what you do and we’ll still be here.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Peter! Agreed and Merry Christmas!!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Thank YOU, Scott, for making videos. You know I tried my hand at it a couple years back. It's not easy. In fact, it's a whole lot of work and takes real talent to film & edit in a manner that people will watch for more than a minute or two, let alone watch all the way through AND come back for the next one! My hat's off to you for all the work you put in for all of us.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I really appreciate that Andrew and your encouragement and support over all these years! All the best!

[@shanekennedy5243]

I enjoyed the banter, could you put me down for the calendar when you are in it. Ha ha

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Haha...nope ; ) Thank you Shane!

[@allisonwoods6161]

We come back because we enjoy what and how you do things. Also learn things as well. I hope Judy is OK 😊. That trailer is a beauty. I hope for your sake you never have to use it in a serious way fighting a bushfire. Fingers crossed you have an uneventful summer 😊

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Allison! Having the trailer ready to go gives us peace of mind should we need it. Judy is fine; busy with her work but looking forward to the Chrissy break. Thanks again and all the best.

[@chesterfield7770]

Thank you to you for making all these beautiful and interesting videos for all this time . Keep going and take care ! Hello from Brussels Belgium .

[@rickkearn7100]

Great design, Scott, and well-thought out! Your understanding of metal work, the load it will take, ease of operation etc., are all spot-on, your logic impeccable. God forbid you have to use it but better safe than sorry. Always enjoy your videos. Great to see you and Mrs. Turner still smiling, a sign of happiness which as we all know, can be fleeting in this world. Cheers!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Wonderful comment Rick, very much appreciated! Yes better safe than sorry, good peace of mind.

[@65cj55]

Good Unit Scott, handy for watering etc as well.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hopefully that's all it will be needed for, cheers!

Calendar Model incoming Mr May! Great build, I keep learning things by watching your videos

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Negative, I'll over expose the shots with my Lilly white guts hanging out. Thanks as always!

[@OzGecko]

G'day Scott (and Judy!) - I took a scroll back through your back catalogue and discovered that I started watching your videos around 8 years back. I enjoy what you make and love your "can do" attitude. Glad to see things are going well for you both (ticks not withstanding!) - look forward to whatever the next project is.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Oz Gecko! All the summer creatures are knocking on our door now : I All the best!

Hi Scott, thanks for all your time you putting into your quality in the projects, from sunny South Africa

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Peter!!

[@PaulMcGuinness]

Always a pleasure to watch one of your vids Scott - and always inspires us to get out in our garage and do something a little bit out of our comfort-zone. Keep it up! 🙂

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Always appreciated Paul, thanks mate!

[@ern48]

Your videos are relaxing and a pleasure to watch. I appreciate your attention to the details and innovative ideas to get the job done correctly. Thank you!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Much appreciated Ern!!

[@sidwalker6902]

I wasn’t judging you on the size of your metal saw, heck I wasn’t judging you at all. Keep up the good work, I find it interesting to watch. Thanks.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

No worries Sid! This little saw of mine has done a mountain of work over the years.

[@dalegunderson4135]

It's always a pleasant suprise to receive the gift of a video from you.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Dale and all the best!

[@belgabosche]

Always a pleasure to see you work Scott, always a tip to pick up here and there 👍. Your trailer looks great! It's only missing a coat of bright red paint and flashing lights 🚒😁 Just hopin' you'll never have to actually use it 🤞. Best regards from France!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you so much! Yes a coat of red paint would make it look the part. All the best!

[@StevenWallace-s2y]

Scott, both you and Judy keep us entertained with your good Aussie humour, but mainly with your honest and practical approach to building your projects, and sharing your life change to the new property, keep it up mate, and keep the videos coming

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very much appreciated Steven!!

[@infotechplus1950]

Yeah still here. Love your videos and your down-to-Earth demeanour. Oh my, that little desk brought back memories too! "Hawkesbury City Council" Recycling tray - I've got one of those.

Well said

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Much appreciated Bonnie!

[@PLAWorkshop]

You need a better solution to have to avoid the priming of the pump, as when the need is there, then there is panic, and you could be waiting valuable time with messing around to get the pump to work. The idea of the whole cart is absolutely brilliant, and will be a live saver. and thank you for the words of thanks at the opening, but its us that need to thank you for taking us on your journey, and let us into your life! THANK YOU

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Chris. Yes I'll route a direct suction pipe from the tank to the pump and keep the long suction hose for taking water from the creek or a water tank. All the best!

[@cutsomewoodbashsomemetalmakeso]

Woo hoo.. Well done Scott!! Dont forget its a water cart too, for all those hard to reach plants that need a bit extra water

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Spot on! Yes, hopefully that's all it will get used for. Fanx!

[@kymmarshall1116]

Nice work on the trailer Scott 👍🏾. Hope you’re both doing well.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Kym! Yes both doing very well thank you.

Really good video again Scott, love your humour and the banter between you both makes good viewing and fun. No need to thank people watching , it’s us that like you and your channel, please keep them coming.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I really appreciate that Nick! All the best!

[@puttster2003]

Looks good. On the discharge of the pump put a large diameter hose to the top of the tank (with a ball valve) for fast filling. Also you can put a pressure relief valve on the discharge with a hose back into the tank (20mm should be plenty) so if you close the nozzle it lets a bit of water flow through the pump and prevent boiling the pump. If other people are likely to use the unit, you can print up some cue-cards and laminate them. The T piece on the suction with one ball valve from the tank and another from the draw hose is a great idea, saves precious seconds. You can even use the last bit of water in the tank to prime the suction line.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Lot's of good tips, thank you! I will look to make that run around circuit and suction directly from the tank outlet. Will make set up easier and keep the unit's versatility if I need to pump from the creek. Thank you!

[@IXISSV]

I haven't seen you smile like that for ages 😁 good on ya. You & the Mrs look really happy there 🍻

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you. Happy days : )

[@dav1dsm1th]

Thanks for the videos. I'm not sure priming the pump in an emergency would be much fun - but I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Stay safe out there.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers! Now the suction line is full it should be no worries but I may put in a more direct line from the tank. All the best!

[@ronaldbuitendijk8657]

Maybe I am a bit late to the party. Great video with great skill. Well done. One update, if you have not already done that. On the pressure side, have an other tap blowing back into the tank. Crack tap a bit so when you're not using your fire hose, water still goes through the pump, stopping it from overheating. It's great for when you're observing a fire but want to be ready for action instantly. Again, great stuff wished more people were prepared like you in rural settings.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Ronald! Yes this is a popular suggestion, one that I will definitely do. All the best!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Tony! Sounds like you are near the finish line. It will be all worth it.

[@tine]

Install a small valve with a hose in the front of the ibc for priming. It will work when the tank is full. I think I would have mounted the hose reel less exposed. When there is a fire, you get stressed and can more easily run Into trees and stuff. How about a space for an extra petrol can? 👍😃 I agree that the suction hose is long. Better that than having a card directly on the tank. Super video! Thanks😃👍💪

Scott I have a very similar saw to that in my small workshop, I made a few modifications to mine on a video. Improved the clamping handle, installed a coolant pump and a catch tray etc. they are fantastic for small spaces and it's like having an extra pair of hands in the workshop. Great video as always!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Yes they are a great compact saw. I'd like to do some of those coolant mods like you have.

[@Hammerandhilt]

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious highly recommend adding the coolant. It makes the blade's life last more than double I have found.

[@NeueKlasseGuy]

Greetings from the US. I like to cover the bearing areas with a rag or silicon spray when I weld near them to prevent spatter from sticking. Keep up the great videos.

Episode one 2 years back and still here Scott. Paul from Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. Good job on the fire cart.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Huge thanks for following along Paul!! All the best!

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

Well done. 👍 I made up a fire fighting pump when I had the acreage, but luckily we had a couple of dams to pump from so all I did was make a small trailer to mount the pump on that I could tow with my ride-on mower, plus I had 2" poly run around the property that I could pull water from as well that was linked into both a bore and the dams, so no need to carry water. I used a lay flat as my fire hose. (PS: I hope you enjoyed my little Steam Engine build)

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! A dam would be awesome but we can't have everything at once. I watched the latest episode. Looks very interesting and I'll follow along. All the best!

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I was again a little lucky in that it was there when we bought the property, but it leaked and I had to get it repaired.

[@leobrent7926]

Hey Scott! Greetings from Argentina! Is good to see you are doing alright. I’ve been watching your videos for years now, and I keep coming back to watch and give you a thumbs up, because you are a great guy. And your projects are awesome. Now... for your problem with ticks, I recommend going to a veterinarian shop and buying a product that’s used to spray on animals and on kennels to keep fleas ticks and other critters away. It’s a liquid that you mix with water and you can spray it around the house, and is also safe for humans and animals. And to get ticks off of you without the risk of getting the little legs stuck in your skin, use cooking oil and bathe that sucker in oil, it will let go on its own. Keep making videos and I’ll keep watching them, cheers mate!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

G'day Leo. Thanks for watching and for your support! Will use that idea for tick on the next occasion, thanks for the tips!

[@amosue]

Great work as always, Scott! Hug right back to ya. We've just moved to an at-risk of bushfire area and I spent the day getting to know the fire fighting system. We have the same Honda motor as you, which has apparently not run for over 5 years. We gave it a dust, flushed the tank, cleaned the plug, replaced the oil and she fired up with a single pull. Good to be prepared, but hope to never need it. All the best.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

The Honda engines are pretty solid and parts are easy enough to come by if needed. Thanks!

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

Can’t wait for the calendar 😂 what a great set up you are a very clever man!! May you not have to use often, but peace of mind you have built the system and it’s ready of need be. Always enjoy your content Scott thank you! Hope Judy had no ill effects from the tick 😊

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! It's always great to hear the videos and projects help inspire along the way. All the best!

Hello Scott, I look forward to more videos and preferably when you work with metal and wood together, like your bench with metal sheets 😉 Greetings from Sweden

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Greetings! Hopefully we can get back into the Industrial Furniture builds again soon.

I've been coming in here since your big orange metal and timber cabinet.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Awesome. I use those daily and they are standing up very well so far. I hope to make some industrial furniture projects again in the near future. Thank you!

My favourite vid is the orange tool chest. The rebar handles are a great detail.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Gets used every day. It's standing up very well.

Great build, fun video and entertaining commentary. Hello from late fall in New Hampshire, where I'll soon be dealing with solid forms of water, ice and snow.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank Keith! I bet it will be cold there soon. On the warm and dry side here
