Tanker 56 is the workhorse of our fleet, with this tanker being able to carry 4000 gallons of water to any fire scene, this truck is always busy. The other great feature about this tanker besides the 4000 gallons of water, is its ability to stand alone on a fire scene. With a rear mounted pump this truck can flow water to any scene with a number of attack lines. Here we see the WorkHorse supplying water to Urbana’s Engine during a mutual aid structure fire.
This piece of apparatus has been a life saver when it comes to natural cover fires here in Hickory County. With this truck having ground sweeps out front, it allows for the fire to be much faster dealt with and extinguished faster without putting fire fighters at risk. This brush truck carries 250 gallons of water and can accommodate many fires with its ability to draft or have water pumped to it. This truck carries (2) 100 ft sections of attack line for any car or structure where it may arrive on scene first. We want to thank Hayden Klinger and the great brothers at Indian River for making this truck a reality for us. This truck has been a true get to the scene quick and get it knocked down. 76-80 has already seen its fair share of fires.
