Stick with the original.
Explanation:
surge tanks and reservoirs for the fire-extinguishing water

fire fighting equipment has a vicabulary all of its own. I would use the original terminology unless you take the time for web research. By the way, you are missing an l in Behälter. Also reservoir is misspelled. I did a translation on fire insurance German>English. I may be able to dig it up and send it to you if you like.

Thanks! The Beha"l"ter was spelt wrong in the German and "reservoir" was wrong because I was typing quick in the early hours of the morning!! Thanks for the offer to dig out the translation. Fire fighting is only a small part of the document and I am almost done!! Thank goodness!
