Ground Application
In ground operations, fire-fighters can use the Fireflex Tank as an emergency water reservoir, or as a readily available water source during prescribed burning.

The self-supporting Fireflex Tank may be easily filled from the nearest water source creating a portable water reservoir. In remote areas, the Fireflex Tank can be filled by pumping water from a natural source such as a stream or lake.

Aerial Application
Pilots who are heli-bucketing can quickly fill their buckets from a Fireflex Tank and proceed to the fire site when access to water supply is otherwise limited. The Fireflex Tank can be replenished with water while the pilot ferries between the water source and the fire site, guaranteeing maximum utilization of helicopter time.
