STIHL’s BR 800 C-E backpack blower for fire management

Blowers have been used by the United States Forest Service to help fight wildfires since the late 1960s. They are an integral piece of equipment commonly used by firefighters globally. While no blower is a stand-alone fire management tool, they are an important and useful tool to any fire-management team. These blowers are also utilised in diverse applications by users dealing with large properties and heavy debris.

The BR 800 C-E blower is the most powerful STIHL backpack blower to date, delivering a maximum air capacity of more than 2000 M³/h of air volume and a maximum air speed of 97 m/s.

The BR 800 C-E can blow the fire back in controlled burning where the fuel load is light. It can quickly and effectively clear hard-to-reach areas of potentially flammable organic material like leaves and grass. When managing grass fires, the BR 800 C-E can remove and reduce the fuel load, thereby reducing the risk of the fire rapidly spreading. The BR 800 C-E blower can supply continuous controlled air to help to create a very hot fire that burns and clears firebreaks faster and more efficiently. It is comfortable to use for extended periods than hand-held tools and it possesses an ergonomically friendly power-to-weight ratio and an anti-vibration system for reduced user fatigue.
