Curious if anyone has converted one of those IBC totes so it could be used for fire prevention/protection. My idea is to use when we are doing a prescribed burn on our property end of this year. It would give me some peace of mind knowing 300 gallons of water is available to be pulled on a trailer where needed. FULLY UNDERSTAND that 300 gallons will not put out a big fire that's out of control. My intent is to have it pulled along the roads by the fire edges only for a standby or possibly to go back and put out hot spots. There will be a group of experienced prescribed burn folks assisting. I joined the Twin Rivers Burn Association in Okfuskee County so I could contribute to help others and then get some help in return for ours.
The sloshing of the water on a trailer could be a problem. I've read you can put 100' of 4" plastic drain hose into the tank before filling and it will act as a baffle. Any input on that would be appreciated also. Likely pulling the trailer with a tractor instead of ATV.
This link on YouTube is what I'm considering.
