Fire resistant water tanks built to thrive in the Australian climate

With Australians bracing for bushfire season every year it is no wonder that fire resistant water tanks are in demand.

Whether you’ve seen out-of-control flames first hand or watched chilling footage of recent bushfires on your TV or device, the message from authorities is to get prepared well before summer arrives.

Having a reliable water source is a key part of your fire-fighting preparations.

At Stainless Steel Tanks, we believe our tanks give you an edge over tank varieties including poly when it comes to fires. We manufacture and supply fire resistant water tanks made from stainless steel that are suitable for our hot Australian climate. They’re tough, resistant to corrosion and won’t melt in a fire like their plastic counterparts.

Fire fighting reserves

People use tanks to store water for homes, gardens, stock and businesses. But when you live in a bushfire-prone area, adequate water storage can save your property and even your life.

Tanks provide necessary fire-fighting reserves for when fires threaten. Requirements for fire-fighting water tanks vary between states, with Victoria decreeing a 10,000 litre capacity necessary for blocks over 1000 square metres if they are in the Bushfire Management Overlay.

And if fires do hit your property, stainless steel tanks have a high melting point and can take a lot of punishment.

But their ability to stand strong in the face of fire is just one of the important advantages our stainless steel tanks provide. They are 100 per cent recyclable, will give many decades of service and come in a huge range of sizes. They also have excellent anti-corrosion properties, making them ideal for harsh coastal environments.
