Firefighting Tanker Trucks and Tenders
A Fire Apparatus Photo Gallery
by John H Rieth
|
|
|
|
|
Tanker trucks, also known as tenders, are used by more than 65% of
all fire departments across America. Early tankers were converted
from oil, fuel, milk, or chemical tank trucks. Some of these converted
units were semi or tractor-trailer trucks, others were smaller, local oil
or milk delivery trucks. Large fire apparatus manufacturers started to
manufacture water tanker fire trucks in the late 1950s, but it wasnt until
the 1970s that custom-made water tankers became popular.
Shown are tankers by all the major and minor fire apparatus
manufacturers and regional builders, among conversions built by
local shops. Included are tankers from Mack, Ford, GMC, Chevy,
International, White, Brockway, Diamond T & Reo, Autocar,
Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Freightliner, Volvo, UD, Marmom, Western Star,
Crane Carrier Corp., FWD, Oshkosh, AMC, and others.

Fighting Fire: Trucks, Tools and Tactics
In powerful, on-the-scene pictures and text,
author/photographer Shapiro explores the special
techniques and equipment brought to bear on fires in cities
and suburbs, rural outposts and wilderness, in homes and
industrial structures. He also takes a close look at hair-raising
rescues and other "non-firefighting" tasks that firefighters find
themselves facing. From bold photography and detailed
descriptions of fire fighting to close-up looks at the fire house
and its full array of equipment--trucks, ladders, pumpers, and
tankers--this book conveys both the technical nitty-gritty and
the fiery action of meeting and containing one of nature's
most brutal forces.
