Fire Tank

Fire protection is an essential part of safety planning for industrial and commercial businesses. And, fire tanks play a big role in this.

Fire water tanks provide a reliable source of water to suppress a fire, should one break out. At Franklin Hodge, we specialise in designing and manufacturing high-quality fire tanks that meet strict safety standards and regulations. With more than 40 years of experience, we understand the importance of dependable water storage. All of our tanks are designed to provide long-lasting durability and to perform in an emergency situation.

What Is a Fire Tank?

A fire tank is a dedicated water storage tank that is specifically designated for fire protection.

It stores large volumes of liquid, in case water needs to be immediately available in a fire. Fire tanks will usually be connected to fire sprinkler systems, hydrants, or other firefighting equipment.

In many commercial and industrial settings, a fire water tank is an essential part of the fire fighting system, often required by local building codes or fire safety regulations.

The Benefits of Installing a Fire Water Tank

1. Immediate water access: During a fire, a fast response is essential. Fire tanks enable this, providing immediate, on-site access to water for firefighting purposes. This minimises delays and potentially minimises damage.
2. Regulatory compliance: Some industries and commercial premises will be required to have a dedicated water storage system for firefighting purposes. Installing a fire water tank can help businesses meet these regulations, protecting lives and properties whilst also helping businesses avoid costly fines.
3. Versatility: Fire tanks can be integrated with various fire fighting systems, such as sprinklers, fire pumps and hydrant water storage. They can be designed and configured to suit the specific needs of each building, supporting firefighting in that situation.
