California has seen a rise in wildfires in the past few decades. In 2021 the Alisal Fire damaged the county’s new state-of-the-art recycling facility. The firefighters were able to keep the main buildings safe. Fire damage in California costs millions and even billions every year. Wildfire water tanks can help reduce that costs. With private fire protection tanks, the risk of a total loss of structures is also greatly reduced.

All these states have seen wildfires. They all realize that fire protection tanks can reduce the risk of total loss to homes and businesses.
Poly fire protection tanks
Poly or plastic fire protection tanks can provide enough water for fire prevention to use sprinkler systems. Sprinkler systems for the exterior can keep the roof and buildings wet, so a hot ember will not spark a fire. Interior sprinklers can slow down the fire from spreading and allow people to exit the building.
Due to the various sizes these tanks work well for both residential and small commercial properties. If you have a large building and a lot of acres you may wish to use two or more tanks. You could also use a poly tank and a steel bolted tank for protecting your property. That’s what makes these tanks so ideal for fire protection tanks.
The amount of money, land, property, and lives that could be saved by fire protection tanks is extreme as you can see from the fires listed above. Without fire protection tanks wildfires will continue spreading.
What can you use poly tanks for?
- Fire protection
- Drinking water
- Irrigation
- Wastewater treatment
- Storm drain collection to help protect against erosion
- Fermentation of wine and beer
- Storage of ingredients for food processing or water for manufacturing processes
Poly tanks are ideal for all those uses. They are safe and keep water clean. This means you can help with fire prevention and have safe drinking water during times of emergencies.
With the changes in weather the past few decades, you could find yourself in a natural disaster emergency from tornados, fires, and more. You will need a source of clean drinking water. A poly tank can provide you that resource. It is also possible that it can help reduce your insurance premiums. They may even keep your insurance policy from being terminated.
It is important that you make a fire protection plan. That plan should include the following:
- Fire protection tank
- Sprinkler systems interior and exterior
- An evacuation plan
- Keeping your property free of dead dry debris and brush
- Practice drills for fire
