Trucks and Tankers
Trucks and Tankers are support vehicles we use to supply Water and additional tools, personnel, and equipment to an emergency scene.
The Heavy Rescue Truck also acts as our control station on larger incidents. The tanker supplies water in the township which does not have municipal hydrants as a source of water.

Note: The tanker is an extremely important part of our service to outlying areas that are not served with hydrants. Tankers can deposit their water into a portable tank for use by the engine while the tanker refills at a hydrant, creek, pond, etc. For large fires, surrounding communities will send tankers to help keep the portable tanks full.
