The Fire Swatter is a durable wildland firefighting hand tool designed for suppressing grass fires, brush fires, and other low-intensity surface fires. Equipped with a flexible rubber flap, this specialized tool allows firefighters and wildland crews to smother flames and burning vegetation by reducing the fire's oxygen supply while working along firelines, burned areas, and other surface fire environments.
Built for demanding field conditions, the Fire Swatter features a durable masticated rubber flap securely riveted to a steel support frame. A welded ferrule joint provides a strong, dependable connection between the steel frame and handle, while a coated steel finish provides increased resistance to rust and corrosion during repeated field use and storage.
Available with a traditional 60-inch American Ash handle or high-visibility fiberglass handles in Yellow, Green, and Orange, the Fire Swatter allows departments and crews to select the handle construction and visibility best suited to their operational needs. Weighing approximately 5 pounds, each model provides a practical combination of reach, durability, and manageable handling and is manufactured in the U.S.A. for dependable performance in wildland firefighting, prescribed burn, forestry, and land management applications.
