An important part of the resources on hand to fight the fires in the Cariboo is the mobile Phos-Chek unit. Along with the truck and tank where the gel is mixed with water, there is equipment for pumping water from available water sources on site and for storing the mixed solution to be picked up by helicopters.
The truck is one of a kind---a Hydro-seeder modified for fire application. The truck on site in the Cariboo is on loan from the US while a new one is being built for Phos-Chek at their main mechanical shop in Idaho, where most of the equipment is manufactured.
