Fire Water Storage Considerations
Selecting the right fire water tank involves several important factors. You'll need to determine the required storage volume or fire reserve based on your property's specific needs and local regulations. It's essential to establish whether you need a dedicated fire-only water supply or can utilise a dual-purpose configuration.
Compatibility with fire pumps and fittings is crucial for system functionality, and proper identification of fire water tanks ensures emergency responders can quickly locate your water supply. Additionally, appropriate base preparation and access arrangements are vital for both installation and emergency use.
Our experienced team can assist in selecting the correct fire water tank solution for your site and compliance needs, ensuring you meet all regulatory requirements while optimising your investment.

Common questions about fire water tanks
Frequently Asked Questions
Are steel tanks suitable for fire water storage?
Yes. Steel water tanks are commonly used as dedicated fire water storage solutions across Australia. They provide reliable, long-term water storage that maintains water quality and remains accessible during fire emergencies.
Do fire water tanks need to be separate from domestic supply?
In some cases, fire authorities require a dedicated fire water supply to ensure the water is always available for emergency use. However, tanks can also be configured with a low-level fire outlet and higher domestic outlet to maintain a protected fire reserve while allowing domestic use of water above the reserve level.What size fire water tank do I need?
Tank size depends on local fire regulations, your property’s bushfire attack level (BAL), and specific site requirements. Different councils and fire authorities may have varying requirements. Our team can assist with sizing based on your location and compliance obligations.What base is required for installation?
In most cases, a level sand pad or crusher dust base is sufficient for residential and rural installations. However, some installations may require a concrete base to comply with Australian Standards, particularly for larger tanks or sites with specific soil conditions. We provide detailed base preparation guidance for every installation.
