Tanker Thursday!

Thursdays we perform a detail truck check of Tanker 51.

Tanker 51 is equipped with 2100 gallons of water. Its primary purpose is to provide water to an incident that may not have a stable water supply such as a hydrant. At the rear of the tank is a large dump valve that allows us to dump all of the water within the tank into a portable tank, allowing the apparatus to leave the scene to go fill up with more water at the nearest hydrant. You can think of Tanker 51 as a Fire Hydrant on wheels.

Tanker 51 seats 5 firefighters.
The rear bumper hold several hoses that are used often to reduce time when refilling the tank
Tanker 51 has to pre-connected crosslays that we can quickly deploy to get water on the fire!
A large dump valve on the rear of the tank allows us to dump all of the water quickly!

The position for secretary at Holt Fire is open. This position is part time.
