Steel Bolted or Poly Tanks Available for Fire protection in Santa Rosa
Both steel bolted and poly tanks are available for fire protection in Santa Rosa. These tanks meet all the requirements, standards, and regulation.
Steel bolted tanks are normally used by commercial properties because they are larger. They hold 4,000 gallons to two million gallons. That capacity allows the commercial property to protect its structures, equipment, and goods
Poly tanks are generally used by residential properties because they are a bit smaller. They hold 400 gallons to 15,000 gallons. Residential property has fewer structures, equipment, and goods they need to protect.
Both types of tanks will provide water flow for sprinkler systems and hoses to help prevent wildfire from igniting your structures. Remember when a fire protection tank is combined with the rest of your wildfire preparedness plan you reduce your risk of total loss.
