Custom-Built HDPE Tank for Broadus Volunteer Fire Department
“We needed to upgrade the tank size to 500 gallons to meet certain NWCG standards for a type 5 engine. There were also size and shape restrictions we had to consider for use with our pump setup and fitment in a service body…” — Clint Hahn, Broadus Volunteer Fire Department
Project Overview
- Broadus Volunteer Fire Department
- Powder River County, Montana
- Wildland firefighting and vehicle response support
The Broadus Volunteer Fire Department, serving the rugged terrains of Powder River County, Montana, needed a dependable and properly specced tank upgrade for their Type 5 fire engine.
Operating during wildland fire conditions and emergency responses along Highway 212, their equipment must be NWCG-compliant and fully field-ready.
Client Needs
The team required a 500-gallon tank that could meet strict size and shape requirements—ensuring a perfect fit with their existing service body and pump configuration.
With space at a premium, every inch mattered. They also needed:
Accurate, visible water level monitoring
Fittings located precisely for their pump system
Our Solution
We delivered a custom HDPE tank that included:
A 500-gallon tank built to meet NWCG standards for a Type 5 engine
Tailored dimensions to fit seamlessly into the service body
Custom inlet and outlet fittings to match their pump setup
An integrated sight glass for quick and easy water level monitoring
A design that enabled fast, clean installation with zero setbacks
The tank was fabricated to spec and delivered ready for use. Installation was seamless—the unit was field-ready with no delays or modifications needed.
Client Testimonial
“We were able to communicate very well and confirm dimensions and capacity as well as correct tank inlet and outlet fittings specs. Also adding a sight glass for easily reading water level. Fitment was great and install went well without any major setbacks. Thanks again for helping us with this project! Look forward to using it this summer!”
