What are Industrial Fires?
Before we explore industrial fires, let us discuss industrial parks first. Industrial parks are considered areas that are ‘zoned’ for industrial uses. This may include oil refineries, factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and ports. Because of the heavy machinery, hot work equipment, and the plentiful use of gases and liquids, industrial fires are likely to occur at some point. So what types of tankers are most effective during industrial fires? This depends on the ‘type’ of industrial business; however, often, water makes fires more combustible considering industrial fires. In this case, foam tenders and industrial fires are usually linked.
Foam Fights Industrial Fires
Typically, Foam Tender tanks would be necessary to put out industrial fires. Foam is ideal for suppressing industrial fires involving flammable and combustible liquids. Various foam classes suppress the fire by blocking the oxygen supply to the fuel. Inevitably, this process decreases fuel vapors and creates a cooling effect.
At Osco Tank and Truck Sales, we have quality foam tenders and tankers that act as a “mobile foam source for industrial clients.” This is why foam tenders and industrial fires can be associated together. Often, industrial fires are made worse by water supply, so the Foam Tender is an effective choice when considering the industrial work environment. Check out our inventory of industrial tanks for sale.
For instance, our poly and stainless tankers can hold up to 5,000 gallons of foam. Our foam apparatus tanks can also pump up to 400 gallons per minute. These powerful tanks also include outboard water source plumbing for direct injection foam systems.

Osco Tank and Truck Sales creates custom-made foam tenders, yet we also sell used poly and stainless tanks. The choice is yours. Most importantly, we are a family-built company. We service farms, fire departments, city streets, and businesses across the U.S. and Canada. Call us at 309-526-3636.
