Most tankers like that will get parked and act as a nurse tanker. Theres one that is sort of local to the department I run with and its holds 6,000 gallons. All the smaller tankers run between the fills sites because they are often easier to get turned around in, and then when they get back they can pump off their load just as easy.
I take it this is a drill. Or a very expensive way to wash down the parking lot. Are they syphoning the water from one basin to the other with the large black hose? Lots of neat ideas and vehicles.
i live Australia and we have town service or rural fire service which i,m on and never seen a blue or green or any other than yellow and red mate harsh hot country out here good for bush fires but bad for our firefighters and we had one in a house fire last week he was awesome name was James he was crazy
I see a good many white trucks with blue stripes, but not many all out blue ones. I believe one of the recently retired trucks in the district next to ours was blue with a gold stripe
Yeah, that department, Mitzpah, has always run all blue fire engines. They all have always had nicknames too. The Blue Typhoon, Big Blue, The Blue Giant, and their most recent engine, Lil' Blue.
I am in a 3 fire Depts and one of the small volunteer depts I'm in. In Glenwood Alabama that has one of there Old Mack custom cabs BLUE trucks. Which we call it Big Blue. Still running like a champ.
God I hated the dreaded water shuttle for rating purposes. In my 20 years we never once had to do a water shuttle with the portable tanks. We had so much mutual aid was never needed. Came close 1 time but we luckily we had 2 hydrants we used out 3 inch line. They started switching to 5 inch after I left
marc bach It's a jet siphon appliance that operates as a venturi. An 1 3/4' hand line feeds into the appliance (jet siphon) and sends water through the hard sleeve (hard suction) and creates a siphon effect. It's "about" a 5:1 ratio.. So, if you pump 100 gallons through the 1 3/4" jet siphon line, you can expect 5 times that to arrive on the other side. I hope that helps.
marc bach If you want to see the device, At 7:33 minutes into the video they're hooking up a low level strainer that is equipped with the jet siphon connection.
It's similar to those hose car wash guns with the detergent bottles. The water flowing over the pick-up tube draws up a small amount of the detergent (though obviously in the ponds the ratio is reversed.)
The water bins are used to hold water so multiple engines can draft water from them and it allows tankers to empty and go back for more water, cutting down the time spent sitting while the fire engine empties the tanker.
2:13 So I admit the old lady firefighter needs to retire, but dang, look at that gal nest to her, and this was three and a half years ago. We're probably about the same age. Meanwhile, Aerosmith loops one verse in the back of my head "Dream on, dream on"
These are volunteer departments. There is no set age to retire for the most part unless the department has an age policy. When I was in high school, I had a teacher who was a volunteer fire fighter. They don't get paid at all. Although the paramedics get a paycheck, it isn't much of one.
Do not see many departments or divisions with that many women. Most the time when I watch ff videos, they are covered and in action. Couple of lovely ladies there, couple of older women, thanks for your service ladies. What model is that semi-tanker?
At our local vfd women started joining and driving the men crazy with drama, so most of the men quit. After the men left the women couldn't handle hard labor and now out taxes went up to convert to a paid department.
John Moenster Probably cause this is only a training exercise and the fact the tank can hold near 12,000 gallons of water. There is no need to leave and get more, since they can hold nearly 4 times as much as the small trucks. I am sure if this was a real working fire, they wouldn't block the big truck in!
Wheres there ppe. If there training, they should be training as if it was the real thing. And it was a stupid place to put that blue truck. Should of left more room for tanker traffic.
@@kyleerickson1789 that blue fire engine was up against the grass and they were far enough from the corner that the tankers could make the turn and get by without any issues especially being on a nice wider two lane entrance
I will tell you this I missed the Auxiliary we had years ago on big fires. It was nice to have fresh hot coffee and actual food. It sucked when we got the mobile canteen they have only Coffee and pound cake.
I think I'm in love with East Vineland's tractor drawn tanker.
There are dozens of tractor drawn tankers throughout NJ. Most of NJ fire departments in central and southern Jersey run tankers.

That... was awesome!
Sunbury, Pa's Goodwill hose company has 2 darker blue fire engines in their barn.

first time i have seen a blue fire truck

James Bergeron me too lol

1:30 one of the first times I have ever seen a fire truck painted that Blue color, well admit, that kinda looks out of place....
Gary, Indiana has some a similar color of blue too.
What kind of fire where you guys fighting

thats a pretty good water supply flowing there.
Yeah but that ladder 15 will empty the semi tanker in less than 10 minutes so its only good if they can keep the supply up
I'm just curious. How do you create the syphon between the porta ponds? Not all that familiar with tanker operations.

How many gallons of water does the red and yellow bin hold? It looks like an entire two trucks were unloaded.
Wade Clark bout 3,000
Silly question. But what are the water bins used for.
The water bins are used to hold water so multiple engines can draft water from them and it allows tankers to empty and go back for more water, cutting down the time spent sitting while the fire engine empties the tanker.
Because there are no hydrants in the area its butter then laying hose to a hydrants a long distance away
chris -- That's not a silly question at all. Unless one is in the fire service, one would likely never have seen something like this.
who's tractor drawn tanker is that and in what state is this in cool video thanks
new jersey---East Vineland Vol. Fire Department Tanker burger1ish
JOHN BAYLIS How many gallons?? It's bad ass, cool vid.
8000 Gallons, and it has a 650 gallon-per-minute pump.

Are the kids Volunteer FFs also?

What was all this water for? Giant fire?
MD88Pilot Training drill
I like that 1808
Do water tankers have hi-lo?
helluva way to water the lawn
Why did they block in the biggest tanker in they shuttle?
John Moenster Probably cause this is only a training exercise and the fact the tank can hold near 12,000 gallons of water. There is no need to leave and get more, since they can hold nearly 4 times as much as the small trucks. I am sure if this was a real working fire, they wouldn't block the big truck in!
+kevin O it also makes for one really big on site storage tank. It takes the place of 4 to 6 drop tanks.
foggy morning not smoke
John Moenster use the big tanker like a big dump tank..
That's a big ass Nurse Tanker,why wouldn't you have it sitting there?
Was they doing some training, was they doing some schooling, was there a 🔥 or what?????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Probably for fire rating. Rural deps have to do it once a year for their rating
3:14 look at the tanker limo
Helmets on !!! Now!!!😬😬
What's happening, forest,fire?
this was a drill for a tanker task force
Category:Music
someone was babysitting . too many kids
Too many women and children. Women rarely can meet the same physical requirements for men. I'm not afraid to tell the truth.
This looks like a training exercise. The kids are probably Explorers.
Do that fire truck got a cb radio so y'all talk to regular truck drivers on the interstate
Cody Moore Nope
what are they doing
Seems odd that it would take that large a tender operation for school protection. I would think a school would have adequate hydrants, maybe not.
This school is in a small town with no municipal supply. 10 miles away from any--this was a drill
this was a drill
this was a drill--this school is 10 miles from any muncipal water source
a drill
This just looks like a huge mess. Why tie up that huge tanker in a relay for no reason?
Wheres there ppe. If there training, they should be training as if it was the real thing. And it was a stupid place to put that blue truck. Should of left more room for tanker traffic.

The female firefighter is old.
Ok wait....did I just see a 12 yr old kid in turnouts?
Probably a jr fire fighter program
where's the fire?
misterPSYCHOPATH3001 probably a training exercise
yes a drill
a drill
Looks confusing
Organized chaos.
wtf 2:15 granny firefigher haha its time to retired
I will tell you this I missed the Auxiliary we had years ago on big fires. It was nice to have fresh hot coffee and actual food. It sucked when we got the mobile canteen they have only Coffee and pound cake.
