We all know that most towns and rural areas have fire departments, and of course, they have fire trucks and water tankers to help them fight fires. Many people are unaware that oil refineries have firefighting apparatuses and specially trained employees. Oil refineries train their employees to fight oil fires because local fire departments are not equipped to, nor are they trained to, fight oil fires at refineries. Over the years, we have constructed numerous water tanks and foam tankers commissioned by oil refineries — take a look!
