With fire restrictions just around the corner, now is the time for landowners across the Golden Plains and Surf Coast Shire to get their properties ready. From stony rises and bush blocks to broadacre farms and hobby properties, the summer heat brings an increased risk of bushfires.
Picture it: dry grass crackling underfoot, gum leaves falling into your gutters, and hot north winds turning paddocks tinder-dry. The best defense is preparation – and having the right gear makes the job faster, easier, and safer.
At Belgrove Hire, we supply locals with the machinery they need for fire prep, and at the top of the list is our Furphy Water Cart for hire in Geelong, ready for hire now.
Why a Furphy Water Cart is Essential
If you’re burning off before Victorian fire restrictions are declared, or just need reliable water access coming into summer, a Furphy Water Cart for hire in the Surfcoast Shire is your best backup. With on-demand water, it’s perfect for:
- Burn-offs & Pile Control – keep a water source within reach to stop flare-ups.
- Dust Suppression – dampen down yards, laneways, and earthworks.
- Emergency Water Supply – a safeguard when the fire danger rating rises.
- Farm Maintenance – support fencing, landscaping, or cleaning equipment.
For rural landholders, it’s not just a convenience – it’s peace of mind.
