Firesafetydirect.com.au provides a locally produced Australian owned Collar Dam that is currently used by many fire agencies throughout Australia. Our high quality tanks have unique and innovative features that are currently not available on any other dams. Beware of imitations...our tanks have been used by fire agencies for years with great success.
Helicopter capable tanks now have Aerial strobe pockets and repair kits as standard along with an optional "Air Operations Vest" pouch on the side of the dam. If tanks are designated to be used for Aerial work, optional white/amber location strobes can be attached making the tank visible from up to 2 kilometers away. This assists pilots in locating the tanks more easily through smoke haze or in low light.
Helicopter capable tanks have a more rigid collar to prevent rotor down wash from pushing the sides down. All tanks now come with a white collar to improve aerial visibility. We also offer a wide range of peripherals to assist in Aerial operations.
All of our tanks come with the choice of outlet size and position, a ground sheet that acts as a carry/storage bag, repair kit and a 12 month guarantee. We are able to provide a full range of Ball Valves & Adapters to suit the individual agency needs. An additional protection cover/cap can also be added if the tanks are required to provide emergency drinking water. (Ideal for Disaster Response)
