Water Purification 101 Edition #003 Nov 2007 BY G. Vincent California sets the mark for this subject and the obvious need for point of use fire water storage and use system.. Many counties require to new construction to include fire water storage. The requirements vary, but the obvious purpose is to have on hand a reservoir of water to use in fighting fires. Many of the houses that burn could be saved. The loss of Electricity means your electric pump will fail. This failure means you cannot extract water from your well or the community water system or cistern. It is up to your the home owner to ultimately be responsible for your family and homes survival. Water Storage and a gasoline pump, will give you access to your available water resources to fight a fire. Your polyethylene fire water tank or tanks, may be buried 1/2 their height below grade. It is recommended that you keep the area around your tanks free and clear of brush. It is recommended that you test your gasoline fire pump once a month. Please consult your local fire department for suggestions as to how you can help your self successfully fire a fire. If you are in a dry area, you should practice what to do in case of a fire. Consult your local fire department, be aware and follow their recommendations. Fire Departments recognizes your responsibility and desire to be your own first responder in a fire.. |

Polyethylene tanks can provide you with a life long fire water storage. If they are installed correctly and with little maintenance there is no reason a black or green fire water tank should not last 30 years or more. Again consult your local fire department for suggestions applicable to your area. It will be our pleasure to recommend additional information on these subjects. Gene Vincent
