Better question: What are you going to do without it?

You spot a finger creeping off the left flank, but it's in a narrow canyon your big engine can't get to.
If only you could get your crew and enough water there to contain it.
If only you had a way to carry a smaller amount of water than a typical engine.

“One of our challenges was navigating tight ingress/egress areas our larger apparatus can’t get to. The 85-gallon tank lets us handle those smaller, enclosed situations easily with a UTV. The unit is perfect for mop-up, too.”
