In a country where bushfires are a seasonal reality, being prepared isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Eco Building Supplies, we specialise in fire fighting water storage and delivery systems that are designed to protect homes, farms, and industrial properties in high-risk zones. With decades of combined industry experience, our team is equipped to deliver systems that meet both the practical demands of emergency response and the compliance requirements set by councils and fire authorities.
Unlike conventional water tanks made from poly, all our fire fighting tanks are constructed from high-quality aqua plated Australian steel, built for superior fire resistance and long-term durability. These tanks are available in a selection of Colorbond® finishes or a traditional galvanised steel option, ensuring your installation fits seamlessly into any architectural or rural landscape. Whether you’re building a new home in a bushfire overlay zone or upgrading your rural infrastructure, our tanks are built to perform when it matters most.
With tank capacities ranging from 2,000 litres up to and beyond 100,000 litres, our solutions are ideal for large homesteads, bush properties, agricultural operations, and commercial sites. Many residential customers also choose our firefighting tanks for dual-purpose use—harvesting rainwater for daily consumption while retaining a portion for emergency fire protection.
Our steel tanks are manufactured to comply with Australia’s tough fire safety standards and we only use Australian steel. Each tank is fitted with fire-fighting compliant outlet kits, including 65mm CFS-compatible Storz fittings, brass ball valves, and customisable outlet heights and positions to suit your property’s layout. The fittings we supply ensure that emergency services can connect their hoses directly to your tank in the event of a bushfire, without delay or compatibility issues.
These aren’t just static water reservoirs. When paired with the right pump and hose system, they form a complete defence mechanism against encroaching fire. In many regions, having such a setup is not only advisable—it’s legally required as part of a bushfire management overlay (BMO) compliance.
To ensure fast and effective water delivery, Eco Building Supplies offers a selection of petrol and diesel-powered twin impeller fire pumps. These pumps are chosen for their ability to deliver high-pressure water output over long distances or uphill, which is critical on sloping properties or when reaching distant structures.
Each pump is housed in a heavy-duty frame with vibration isolation and fuel-efficient engine design. We provide both recoil start and electric start models, as well as portable options for flexible deployment across large properties. Whether permanently installed or mounted on a fire trailer, these pumps are the driving force behind any reliable bushfire defence system.
A water tank and pump are only as effective as the system that connects them to the fire. That’s why we supply professional-grade fire hose kits, including lay-flat hose reels, adjustable nozzles, and rapid-deploy fittings. Our hoses are UV-stabilised and abrasion-resistant, designed for high-pressure applications and rugged terrain.
We typically recommend 30m to 60m hose lengths, depending on the property size, and include brass or aluminium fire nozzles that offer fan and jet spray options. Quick-connect couplings and snap-on fittings make deployment fast and intuitive, even under high-stress conditions.
We also offer hose reels (both wall-mounted and freestanding), suction hoses, and strainers, ensuring your setup is fully self-contained and ready to activate at a moment’s notice.
To enhance your system’s performance, we also provide a range of optional accessories. These include:
Inline non-return valves and backflow prevention devices
Lockable cabinets for pump and hose protection
Tank level gauges (mechanical)
These upgrades offer additional peace of mind and functionality—particularly for properties in remote or unpowered locations.
Our firefighting systems aren’t limited to rural properties. We also supply and install residential fire tank systems for homeowners in bushfire-prone urban-fringe developments. These systems can be more compact but include all necessary fittings for compliance, ensuring your home is prepared without compromising space or aesthetics.
For larger applications, we offer custom made fire protection packages that cater to broadacre farms, horticulture operations, heavy equipment depots, and multi-building industrial sites. These setups can be tailored to connect multiple tanks, pumps, and outlet zones, offering large-scale water delivery and redundancy.
Every package we supply includes expert advice, professional documentation, and optional on-site assessment, ensuring your system is optimised for performance, safety, and compliance.
