SUMMARY
Dry hydrant cisterns are not just infrastructure, they are an investment in resilience, safety, and long-term sustainability.
Off-Grid Dry hydrant cistern systems present a significant growth opportunity for Wildfire operators, fed by rainwater. Also for municipalities, and rural communities seeking reliable fire suppression solutions. With increasing demand for compliant, self-sufficient water access in fire-prone and off-grid areas, these systems offer a cost-effective, scalable, and code-compliant alternative to traditional fire hydrants.
CHALLENGES
Lack of municipal water systems in rural and remote communities
Wildfire firefighters often lack a nearby water source
Building codes require standby water sources to be available to firefighters
Towns are growing faster than the water supply can handle
Fire departments often need to truck water from distant sources
Delayed water access can increase property damage and risk to lives
Limited infrastructure reduces the effectiveness of emergency response
Install permanent, reliable water sources where none currently exist
Utilize dry hydrants connected to underground cisterns
Provide consistent, year-round access to water for firefighting
Improve ISO and LEED ratings
Potentially lower community insurance costs
Strengthen local fire departments' operational capabilities
Create infrastructure that supports both emergency and non-emergency water needs
SOLUTIONS
Site-specific installation and rainwater capture system
Customize cistern size and hydrant placement
Code Compliance (ie: NFPA 1142)
Design with municipal, regional, and provincial standards in mind.
Collaboration with Stakeholders - work directly with fire departments, engineers, and municipal planners
Provide training and documentation for ease of use and maintenance
Turnkey Installation - manage everything from excavation and tank installation to dry hydrant hook-up
Provide long-term support, inspection, and system upgrades as needed
Sustainability Focus - Incorporate rainwater harvesting where possible to refuel cisterns
