Our FAQs
How does a fire reserve work
A fire tank is a water reservoir used to supply fire-fighting equipment. It enables firefighters to draw the water they need to fight a fire. To ensure a sufficient flow of water, the tank must be kept at a certain fill level.
What is the volume of a steel fire reserve
The volume of a steel fire tank can vary according to the specific needs of each site. However, most fire tanks have a capacity ranging from 30 to 120 cubic meters. It is important to note that the volume of the tank must be sufficient to enable effective intervention in the event of a fire.
What are the standards for burying a fire hydrant?
The standard for the manufacture of an underground fire tank in France is NFE 86-410. This standard sets out the requirements for the design, manufacture and installation of welded steel tanks for the storage of water not intended for human consumption. Ensuring that underground fire tanks comply with this standard is essential to guarantee their effectiveness and reliability in preventing and fighting fires.
