Barn fire takes seven tanker trips to put down
April 14, 2010

A farmer burning some trash near Anamosa, Iowa, walked away when he mistakenly thought the pile was done burning, and returned to find that it had ignited a barn fire. The fire consumed enough water to require seven tanker trips into town. Wildfires outside the reach of municipal water service often require considerable effort to deliver enough firefighting water -- and though we supply a wide range of engine-driven pumps and PTO-driven pumps for firefighting, we'd much rather see as many people as possible protected by reliable water sources from municipal supplies and rural water systems.
