Cody, I built my portable fire system like this: 3-point fork attachment for my tractor. 275 gallon IBC tote that rides on the forks. PTO driven pump. 100’ of 3/4” hose. With some basic fittings and hoses to hook it up, the system works great and only cost about $300. The PTO pump is capable of 300 psi at max RPM so you don’t even need to run the tractor much above idle to generate sufficient pressure. The added benefit is that it runs on the tractor engine so there’s no extra engine to maintain and you can keep the grapple on the front of the tractor to pull fuel away from the fire.

@@noahlamrock yep. We carry adaptors for a number of other styles, but the Rural Fire Service here in NSW Australia uses Storz fitting exclusively for bushfire fighting. They're simple, easy to maintain and you don't have to worry about issues with damaged threads. We encourage landowners to actually attach a Storz fitting to their water sources and put a sign on their gate, so the RFS knows where they can quickly draw water from during a fire.

When drafting from a stream, or lake, keep a 5 gallon paint strainer to wrap around your foot valve. It keeps all the sediment out of your pump, and tank. We had a aluminum plate under our foot valves too, to keep it outta the sediment.

As a structural fire guy, I can't help but be impressed with how little water you have to work with. I'm not a fan of brush fires. I'm spoiled by hydrants and large tankers (I think you guys call them "tenders"). One of the things you should teach in your new venture should be basics of woodland/interface for homeowners. They need to know when to stand and fight and when to bail out.

Firefighters in Poland fold their hoses in a different way - they first fold it in half so both ends meet each other and then you start coiling it from the folded part. This way when you uncoil it you have both ends with you so you can connect the hose to water and run with the other connector to the fire. I don't know which method is better but i think it's a cool thing to know :D

I've worked a few grass fires with 25L per minute branches/nozzles on a light vehicle with 500L tank, gives you around 20 minutes of water that can be very effective. But then again I've run 475L per minute on bush fires and ended up having to evacuate because it wasn't effective. Being able to use water effectively is extremely useful. Also, all our fire services use external lug so we can all hook in to each other easily and we only need to carry size adaptors, not type adaptors
