Tanker 4 - 1998 International - 3000 Gallons of Water
In 2004, we replaced the old chassis with this 1998 International, 475HP with 10 speed transmission. The 3000 gallon tank was refurbished and compartments have been built to carry a portable pump and other equipment. This work was and is being done by BMI.


This is TRUCK 5, the newest addition to our fleet.  It's main use will be a personnel carrier and will also contain some back up equipment.

The lighting system is State -of-the-Art, the newest of it's kind, and it also has what it referred to as a Rumbler made by Federal Signal, a loud low vibration that alerts people to the truck, if they happen to miss the lights.  That is unlikely though! !
