What Is It?

The Fol‑Da‑Tank Folding Frame and Tank is a portable, open‑top water containment system used to supply large volumes of water where hydrant systems or fixed infrastructure are unavailable. The tank consists of a heavy‑duty 22 oz. HPR rubber liner supported by a folding structural frame that locks into position during use and folds down for transport and storage.

How Is It Used?

The tank is unfolded at the incident scene and placed on level ground. Once the frame is secured, the liner is filled from tanker trucks, pumpers, or static water sources. Fire apparatus can draft from the tank to sustain continuous fire suppression operations. After use, the tank is drained, folded, and returned to storage or transport.

Who Uses It?

• Municipal and rural fire departments
• Wildland firefighting crews
• Emergency response teams
• Disaster relief agencies
• Industrial fire brigades
