Waterax by Wildfire is a full line of lightweight high pressure portable fire pumps. These multistage centrifugal pump systems allow for pumping from natural water sources - such as lakes, streams, and rivers - that often contain minor debris. A major advantage of high pressure centrifugal systems is that they allow for tandem pumping which enables users to move water over greater distances and elevation.

WATERAX's origins date back to the 1920s, when the Watson Jack & Co. (the root company from which Wildfire originated) had established itself as a manufacturer of a powerful 200 psi portable fire pump called the WAJAX.

The first of its kind, this pump was the pioneer in the field of portable fire pumps used in forest firefighting. The time-tested quality, reliability, and durability of WATERAX pump systems are what have made them the most trusted pumps in the industry today and the benchmark of excellence in forestry water handling systems.
