Western Global’s FirePro Fuel Storage Solution is Fireproof, Ballistic- and Impact Resistant
Western Global, a leading provider of portable fuel tanks and dispensing equipment for the storage and handling of fuels, lubricants and other fluids, introduces its latest fuel storage innovation: FirePro. This new line of fire-protected bulk fuel storage tanks is engineered to provide protection and compliance for both permanent and temporary installations.
FirePro tanks are built to exceed the toughest fire safety and environmental standards, featuring a design that is fire-rated and insulated as well as ballistic- and impact-resistant. With UL2085 certification and California Air Resources Board (CARB) approval, FirePro tanks provide peace of mind for operations in even the most demanding and highly regulated jurisdictions.
“FirePro tanks represent a significant step forward in safety and versatility for our customers," said Ben Inkrott, director of growth at Western Global. "By combining UL2085-certified protection with the turnkey convenience our customers expect, we’ve created a space-saving, portable solution that excels in highly regulated sites and critical remote jobsites alike.”
These tanks are ideal for a wide array of jobsites and applications, including on-site fleet refueling, fuel islands, and providing extended runtime for generators, pumps and heaters. The FirePro is:
● Ready to move: Four-way fork pockets allow for quick maneuvering and mobility when the tank is empty.
● Turnkey: Units arrive on-site ready for immediate use, featuring preinstalled accessories tailored to specific fueling needs.
● Compliant: Models meet UL2085 and NFPA 30 and 30A standards for streamlined approvals and peace of mind.
● Secure: A lockable equipment cabinet ensures that fuel, ports and dispensing equipment remain safe and secure.
● Space-saving: The FPT500 and FPT1000 models are easily stackable up to two high when empty, allowing users to save valuable space in their yards.
Every FirePro tank is backed by Western Global’s eight-year tank warranty.
Available in three models — FPT500, FPT1000 and FPT2000 — the lineup offers safe fill capacities ranging from 500 to 2,029 U.S. gallons. To learn more about FirePro tanks, visit western-global.com/us/products/firepro.
