Well you could just park these up at oil rigs, airports, fuel factories and so forth. Places that are in danger of having difficult to control fires.

It would probably only be used for very difficult fires, not minor types.

Well????? Guess what!?
This one was used to put out burning oilwells in Kuweit in the early 90's after the 1st gulfwar. When Iraqi troops set the wells on fire after US led coalitionforces threw them out from there. But they where not americans these guys so they didn't get so much attention. The american companies got the lion share as usual. Business as usual .... :D :D >:) :D
