Wildland Firefighting | Containment Liners for Fire Ponds

Throughout the country, August sparks the beginning of wildland firefighting season. Hot, dry weather create an environment ideal for fueling a wildfire, which means it’s important to have fire ponds and lakes nearby to use to extinguish potential flames. Choosing the right containment liners for fire ponds is an element of wildland fire fighting that’s extremely important to the process. Containment liners with leaks or tears, or ponds without the proper insulation may not be available for use when they’re needed most. When it comes to wildland fire fighting, fire hydrants likely aren’t an option in the great outdoors. Fire ponds and lakes are most often used to fight wildland fires. These alternative water supplies can be beneficial in fighting wildland fires, but it’s important for the right equipment to be used for drafting water from these sources.
