As a promoter of steps to develop the first French standard for flexible firefighting tanks, Labaronne-Citaf has been manufacturing water storage systems for firefighters for more than 25 years, to provide them with a reliable and rapid water supply to fight fires, and thus protect people and buildings.
In Europe and in many other countries, the development of preventive water points to fight fires is becoming normalized. In the event of an accident, firefighters are thus assured of having the necessary volume of water available. This volume must be accessible at all times by the firefighters and positioned in one place, so that the fire intervention teams do not have to carry out additional manoeuvres.
A flexible firefighting storage tank is an essential element in isolated areas or in a sector where the water network is insufficient. It is also a relevant fire control solution for urban and industrial settings when creating commercial premises (fire water tank for mixed development areas (ZAC) or a suburban area, or when rapidly upgrading a factory to the standards for an agricultural or industrial building. The flexible tanks can also act as relay storage when the forest fire control unit is required to intervene.
