Tank Farm Fire Protection Foam Shed that feeds the Tanks that hold foam at tire suppression spiders in East Tank Farm crude oil tanks Fire hydrant above West Tank Farm Spiders are in the bottom of crude oil storage tanks. Foam would be ejected from spiders and rise to the top of the oil to smother a fire if needed

Portable Fire Protection Assets Trailer mounted, high volume foam /water monitor Fire engine in Alyeska Fire House, with hose ready to deploy

Gleason pressure reducing valve With water pressure around 250 psi at VMT fire hydrants, some fire engines like most from the City of Valdez need a Gleason Valve to reduce the water pressure. There are three Gleason Valves at the VMT.
