Install stainless steel rainwater tanks before fire season

Posted on October 27, 2024

We saw on the news last night that the warnings have already started. Following spring rain which has promoted prolific grass growth across the country we’re heading for another red alert summer fire season. If ever there was a time to install a fireproof stainless steel rainwater tank for firefighting reserves, it’s now.

There are arguments for and against the various types of water tanks available for firefighting but in our experience stainless steel tanks are the best water storages because of their inherent strength and exceptionally high melting point. Be reassured that a stainless steel water tank will still be standing long after a poly tank has melted into the ground.

Requirements for firefighting water tanks differ from state to state, with minimums varying from 10,000 litres down south in Victoria right through to more than 20,000 litres up north in Queensland, but Stainless Steel Tanks can provide whatever tank size is required.

Although our business Stainless Steel Tanks is a newcomer on the retail scene, we have more than a decade’s experience behind us designing and building water tanks to meet Australia’s testing conditions, including the demands that accompany hot and fire-prone summers.

Firefighters are tipping that by January and February parts of the country will be primed to burn and that bushfires are inevitable. Although the high fire-danger period is close, there is still time to order and install a stainless steel water tank to ensure you have the water reserves to protect your property should fire break out.

Even if you don’t think you’ll need water for firefighting, a stainless steel tank is a worthwhile investment in this parched land of ours and we guarantee your water tank will still be standing long after you’ve moved on.

If you require water storage for firefighting or for household or other use, make sure you contact Stainless Steel Tanks. We’ll provide you with the ideal stainless steel rainwater tank for your situation and requirements.
