[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4237783, member: 14646"] Some of you saw my thread a couple of days ago about our property catching fire from a negligent ajoining land owner. We live out in the sticks and lucky for us the Shamrock Volunteer FD did a great job putting the fire out that could have caused some structural damage had they not responded. I've had the thoughts before this incident but now is back at the top of my mind. I need to get setup with some sort of fire fighting rig or apparratus for my property. Not looking to get something that will put out a fully involved structure fire. Looking for something I can use to help control grass or pasture fires, assist with controlling the fires I set when burning my brush piles or any other related need i have on my property to control threats related to fires whether at home or helping a neighbor if needed. Those that have land what do you use or what do you have that is setup for fire control? Home-brew equipment or did you buy something to slide into a UTV or pickup truck to put out fires? What do you or friends have. Due to my job, I'm thinking about getting one of the 500 gallon water trailers (also known as a water buffalo) commonly used to control dust on jobsites or watering trees or plants that don't have access to water sources. These water trailers do come with 1.5 fire hose. Even with my deep discounts through work, buying new it'd still cost me about $7500. It is pricey and trying to figure out if this is the best option or what you all can recommend. It is something I would keep filled with water from early Spring through Fall. This is what the water trailer looks like. [ATTACH type="full"]464298[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
