Compact Light Fire Appliance

Parabellum International’s Compact Light Fire Appliances, also known as 1.4 appliances, are purpose-built for rapid response, bushfire suppression, and emergency operations in areas with limited access or tight turning requirements. Compact in size but powerful in performance, these units are an essential component of modern fire and emergency fleets.

Locally built by Parabellum through our exclusive partnership with Rosenbauer, these vehicles are based on the CT Profile platform, renowned for its low centre of gravity, lightweight construction, and exceptional maneuverability.

Rosenbauer – Built and Produced Locally in WA

Parabellum is the exclusive Rosenbauer partner in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, enabling us to deliver world-class firefighting technology built locally to suit the unique requirements of our region. These fire appliances are constructed by us in our Naval Base, WA workshop and supported by our very own local service and maintenance team.

The CT Profile platform combines compact external dimensions with maximum internal storage efficiency, allowing operators to carry all essential firefighting and rescue equipment without compromising mobility or safety.
