How Trent Palmer Protected His Land
When the 60,000+ acre Bug Fire surrounded Trent Palmer’s property on the California–Nevada border, fire crews made a stand at his home, then moved on to the next one.
At 2 AM, a 40-foot tree flared up right behind the house. Trent put it out with his QTAC 125HP, towed behind a UTV on a QTAC XDT trailer. He spent the next several days with the skid, drowning smoldering brush and holding the unburned edges of his land.
That’s what a QTAC is built for: pre-wetting your property, knocking down spot fires and mop-up once it’s safe to be back on your land.

How landowners use it
Water Where Your Property Needs It
Pressurized water on your schedule, from the front gate to the back forty.
Pre-wet your perimeter
Soak defensible space, wood piles and outbuildings before embers arrive.
Ember patrol
Knock down spot fires from flying embers before they grow into a threat.
Mop-up after the front
The first 48–72 hours are critical. Patrol your lines and drown smoldering roots and logs.
Use the water you have
Every QTAC can draft. Pull from a pond, pool, ditch or stock tank and keep pumping.
Burn piles & controlled burns
Keep pressurized water on standby while you clear brush in the wet season.
Mowing & saw standby
A blade strike or chain spark in dry grass can start a fire. Have water running nearby.

Basically a slip-in fire engine.
You might say, ‘What are you going to do with 125 gallons?’ Well, the bigger question is, ‘What are you going to do without it?’
