It bothers me that I only just now found your channel. These trucks are not only super unique, but are also backdropped by some beautiful scenery! Great catches.
The hydrants are generally pretty reliable. In areas without them, holes can be cut in the ice and water drafted out of them. Tenders shuttle water. As long as the water in hoses is moving, they generally don’t freeze. Most engines have a winter package for the pump with extra insulation and heaters.
Hydrants up there are "dry" ( they don't have water in them usually above 15', so generally they don't freeze when not in use. There are a lot of tanker/ tender shuttles from reliable water sources and they transport back to the fire- ground and dump into fold-a-tanks( usually holding 1500-2000 gallons). There is a true art to a good tanker shuttle. Fire departments near Fairbanks, Alaska do a real good job shuttling water for fires. BTW, Nice video!!

Thank you! Alaska truly is an amazing place to live and work.
Agreed.
Amazing catches! Awesome looking apparatuses with sweet backgrounds. Just subbed.
Tender 35’s horns and apparently tuned to the key of D, which is beautiful. Love the sound Tender 35’s horns produce!
I love the first fire truck siren sound we need more of that sound in Utah.
That's some good buffing. CCFR in Juneau has practically the same tender/tanker for a few areas of town that aren't on hydrant.
Love how many units you got responding, nice work!
Awesome catch! The snow and mountains seem so exotic having been in the dry heat of Western Australia for a few years!
Amazing video! The trucks are cool too! Keep up the good work.
Wonderful video like and subscribed from Czech Republic 🙂👍👍
Would love to work on a company out in Alaska.
BTW, are you ready with the upcoming China-US meeting in Anchorage? I think it'll be some unique catches for a small city.
What do fire depts up there do water supply everything frozen
