Strategic pre-deployment

for immediate response.

What Happened--- “It is evident: Our water resources were insufficient. Given the intensity of the winds, containing that blaze was impossible.”

(Reflecting on the 2021 Caldor Fire)

The Problem We Address:

'Urban water systems are typically designed to have 25% to 40% more water than needed to prepare for homes that catch on fire, said Greg Pierce, director of the UCLA Water Resource Group. “But they’re going to run out of water pretty quickly in a wildfire event, much less a wildfire event of this nature,” Pierce said. Investing in the amount of infrastructure — all the hydrants, tanks, pipes and other improvements necessary to substantially increase water flow for fires this intense — would be “incredibly expensive,” Pierce added.' Wildfires are too much for municipal water systems. In Los Angeles, firefighters tried anyway. - High Country News

"Urban water systems are designed to protect a few houses or an apartment complex from fire — not block after block of an entire neighborhood, with everything burning at once."

• Areas without hydrants can allow for a small local fire to become a catastrophic wildfire.

Areas with hydrants then lose water pressure and run dry.

• Nearly every wildfire has been accompanied by loss of pressure and failure of the hydrant systems.
• Municipal water systems are designed for 1-2 homes on fire, not for hundreds of homes at the same time.
• 13% of California Public Schools are in wildfire prone areas.
• 38 Million Acres in California are in Moderate to Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

Tanks are NFPA 22, NFPA 1142 compliant with documentation

NFPA 1142 specifies the need for supplemented water supplies for firefighting in areas without hydrants.

We supply both primary and supplemental water, along with the tools to fully utilize that water to fight fires and wildfires.

Mission-Critical Benefits

We deliver mission-ready water infrastructure engineered for rigorous and demanding situations.

Pre-Deployed Water

Tanks in optional networks, pumps, power, connectors

Potable water for emergency drinking

We offer advanced liners and UV sterilization systems to maintain the potability of the stored water. Not all customers are focused on drinking water capabilities. Yet, when firefighting water supplies disappear, drinking water also disappears. A combination of potable and non-potable water storage, meets a wider range of needs.

Strategic Deployment

We deploy comprehensive tank networks equipped with real-time mobile monitoring to ensure water levels are always visible to responders. By integrating advanced UV sterilization and specialized liners, we manage both potable and non-potable supplies within a single strategic infrastructure. This versatile approach safeguards life-sustaining drinking water while simultaneously providing the high-volume resources essential for aggressive firefighting, meeting every community need during a crisis.
