This unit is our water delivery unit. Its primary function is to haul water for any unit fighting a fire. It responds to all types of fires. The large diameter dumps allow this unit to unload from either side or the rear in less than 2 minutes. It then shuttles water as needed. With a PTO pump this unit can "Pump & Roll" which is very helpful for wildland fires.

This unit replaced a 1980 Tanker.
