YouTube favorite SouthernPrepper1 has a really good video series on firefighting. I rarely see prepper’s discuss firefighting. You can imagine that fending off potential marauders who may use fire as a weapon. You can check out the entire series HERE however below I have included a few below.
The use of inexpensive IBC containers combined with gas operated pumps – on the back of a truck or trailer – makes for an excellent home firefighting system. I’m looking at hooking up a similar system to my 3,000+ gallon pool.
I conduct regular fire extinguisher training with my family. I light a fire in my backyard firepit and have each person put it out while explaining how to use a fire extinguisher. It is not so much the theory that is valuable but the hands on experience. Should something happen it will not be the first time any of them used a fire extinguisher.
I’ll tell you right now as you read this if you do not have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen click HERE or go to the store NOW and get one. A kitchen fire can get out of control in a hurry.
I have a IBC on a 12′ tower as part of my power and water shed.
Everyone should also keep one in their bedroom in case the fire is at night, and the flames keep them from getting to the extinguisher in the kitchen or elsewhere.
Excellent suggestion. (Thumbs up!)
Good stuff, definitely a week point of mine, just bought a fire extinguisher off your link, thanks rourke
Thank you for posting this Rourke. I’m jealous D. 🙂
I put in a deep well and put hose bibs all the way around the house and also have city water.
