Non-combustible Vegetation I can plant infront of a 8'Hx12'dia Tank thats
smack in the middle of the front yard? We wanted hide it behind a hedge or
2.
I have no suggestions to offer. But can anyone explain why it must be
non-combustible near a _water_ tank? Gasoline, oil, or other fuel
tanks, sure. But water?
Or is this a water tank that is specifically meant to be used to put
out fires?
Ok, I see your other post. But still -- a water tank connected to
hydrants 20' and 250' away isn't going to be threatened by some burning
shrubbery, is it? Or maybe it is plastic.
