FASTANKs have been used by the Fire Fighting industry throughout the world for many years as a temporary water storage unit and as a means to decontaminate personnel.
An intermediate storage unit is often used to provide a water source local to a fire which can be refilled with water from a natural source (e.g. river) or a water tanker. To fulfil this requirement, it is invaluable to have a temporary water tank which can be permanently carried and conveniently stored with the fire fighting appliance and assembled quickly (without tools), when needed.
In situations where it is necessary to attack a fire with helicopters the FASTANK Firefighter provides the ideal temporary water storage facility. It’s yellow lip enables easy detection by the helicopter pilot.
The decontamination of personnel or equipment is a common requirement for fire fighters. Static decontamination equipment can be expensive, time consuming to install and has limited usefulness as it can only be used in one place. Many users prefer a portable system which can be folded (for storage) when not in use. The FASTANK bund and FASTANK Rapide are ideal transportable decontamination pools for removal of almost any type of contamination. They are quickly and easily assembled, without any tools, and have proved an effective means of contaminant containment.
