Heat illness is one of the most common injuries on any incident. Crews on a fire line or a spill beach in summer drink a lot of it, and survivors after a hurricane may have no safe tap water for days or weeks. Bottled water is the fastest way to get water to all of them.
KDT supplies bottled water and electrolyte drinks by the case, pallet or truckload. We stage it in camp, send it to drop points and line crews, and deliver to points of distribution for the public. We keep it out of direct sun and rotate it.
On wildfire, bottled water is one of the high-demand items the local unit's Service and Supply Plan lines up local vendors for, alongside ice, food and fuel.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide bottled water for incidents?
Yes. We supply bottled water and electrolyte drinks by the case, pallet or truckload and deliver them to camps, drop points and distribution sites.
How much bottled water do I need per person?
A common planning guide is a gallon or more per person per day for survivors; order as much as the incident needs. Crews doing hard work in heat need much more, and should have electrolytes too.
Can you supply a point of distribution with full truckloads?
Yes. We deliver full trailers of bottled water to PODs and help run the distribution.
