Barn fire takes seven tanker trips to put down
April 14, 2010
A farmer burning some trash near
Anamosa, Iowa, walked away when he mistakenly thought the pile was done burning, and returned to find that it had ignited a barn fire. The fire consumed enough water to require
seven tanker trips into town. Wildfires outside the reach of
municipal water service often require considerable effort to deliver enough firefighting water -- and though we supply a wide range of
engine-driven pumps and
PTO-driven pumps for firefighting, we'd much rather see as many people as possible protected by reliable water sources from municipal supplies and rural water systems.
