Think of Rol-La-Tank as one of those Wal-Mart style temperary pools. You know the type, the pools featured on America’s Funniest Home Videos that collopase when big, fat Uncle Jimbo falls on one side. They are kind of like that; quick to put up and holds a lot of water. 

Lets give these storage containers a little more props though cause one burly firefighter can set up the entire thing in less than two minutes. They come in different sizes, ranging from a doggie pool size of 250 gallons, all the way up to Uncle Jimbo’s bathtub size of 3,000 gallons. Aircraft-quality aluminum supports industrial-strength vinyl liner to make up the entire unit. Starting at $650 and going all the way up to $1,500, these firefighters hot-tubs might be just the ticket for remote areas.
