PolyTank™ Rigid Back Tank
When you travel into areas of our land where wildfires are a serious risk, the sight of the rigid back tank is a common occurrence. Often you will encounter a pickup truck with 1 or 2 of them mounted and ready for quick action. Upon entering camp or park areas, you may see small crude fire stations shelters where 1 or more may be housed along with other basic wildfire fighting equipment such as axes, shovels, brooms & rakes.
The back tank with its 5 gallons of water can be quickly slung on a person’s back and hurried to a hot spot. Discovering a fire in its early stages is crucial. The backpack tank provides a means to do something about the situation. For the cottage owner, one of these backpack tanks should be prominently placed and ready for deployment -- to the campfire, the burning barrel, or other area of concern.
