How often do people search online for information on tank fires and tank fire suppression? Evidence shows that the searches for both subjects are steady and in fact increasing over time and it’s not hard to see why.

It’s an ongoing concern for tank owners globally. 

Tank fires are costly, dangerous and in some cases deadly. Until recently, tank owners were left to their own devices to find a proactive solution for tank fires.

And that was only for the relatively small number of tank owners who even knew that fire suppression tools existed in the first place.

Many tank owners weren’t aware you can proactively prepare for a tank fire, be alerted to it, and suppress it quickly, rather than having to call the fire department after you discover a fire has started only to watch it burn down.
