Tanker 1 Tanker One is a 1995 Freightliner/Conway 3,000 gallon tanker.  This unit was purchased after a crack was discovered in the frame of the previous tanker.  Tankers are essential pieces of apparatus in providing a quick water supply in areas of town not protected by fire hydrants.  Tanker One carries a portable folding water tank that is set up at fire scenes.  The tanker dumps its water into the port-a-tank then heads off to be refilled and repeats the process until the fire is out.  Tanker One responds to all fire alarms out of the hydrant district and responds out of town on mutual aid requests periodically.
