Fire Protection Tanks

In the past, three to five decades, California, Washington, Oregon, and several western states have seen increased wildfires. Wildfires cost millions of dollars of damage, firefighting costs, and loss of life. It is important that you have a fire protection tank.

In August 2020 the SCU Lightning Complex fire swept through several parts of the western states burning close to 340,000 acres. Paradise was totally devastated in 2020.

In 2020, Salem saw a half million people forced to evacuate from wildfires. There were 900 acres of state parkland burned. Many structures were destroyed or damaged.

In 2021, Oregon again saw numerous wildfires spread across the state. The smoke from more than one of those fires hung over Salem causing air quality issues for residents.

In 2021Idaho had a major uptick in wildfires seeing over 115,971 acres of state land burned. Before that, the average was 20,049 acres in one year for 20 years.

Fire occurrence in 2021 was up 161% and the number of acres burned was up 578%. The governor added more firefighters and $150 million for future firefighting costs to the budget.

The firefighters were able to keep the main buildings safe.  However, damage was reported on the following structures:

Fire Protection Water Tanks offers effective solutions for fires with welded steel fire protection tanks.

Other uses for steel bolted tanks besides fire protection tanks are:

  • Drinking water
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Storm water collection
  • Irrigation

California law requires that commercial properties including agricultural such as wineries have fire protection tanks. To best serve the needs of our customers, we weld our steel tanks up to 30,000 gallons in our shop and deliver the completed tank to your location. For tanks larger than this, we come to your site and construct the tank as we cannot safely haul such large sized tanks by vehicle.

Water storage tanks must follow regulations and meet requirements set by the American Water Works Association, National Science Foundation, and in the case of fire protection, the National Fire Protection Agency. Because our tanks follow these standards, they make the safest, most effective choice for storing water and utilizing it to suppress fires in the event that one occurs.

Commercial properties can use steel bolted tanks for other uses as well. You could use a second steel bolted tank for the following:

  • Fermentation of wine or beer
  • Chemical storage for manufacturing processes, fertilizers for ag, and more
  • Dry goods storage for things like sugar for juices or wines
