Fighting Fires at Oil Refineries with Foam Tankers
We all know that most towns and rural areas have fire departments, and of course, they have fire trucks and water tankers to help them fight fires. Many people don’t realize that there are firefighting apparatuses and specially trained employees at oil refineries. Oil refineries train their employees to fight oil fires because the local fire departments are not set up to nor are they trained to fight oil fires at refineries. Over the years, we have constructed quite a few water tanks and foam tankers commissioned by oil refineries — check them out!
