The tanker is a mil-spec Oshkosh. Love how it rolls along the grass like "who needs f**king roads!"

They're ex US Army and they're Oshkosh by gosh. That volunteer dept has shown how to get things done on a shoestring. Those trucks will give many years of service.

That tanker was money very well spent. It can get to the fire and looks like it hauls a lot of water. It functions perfectly without all the chrome and bells and whistles that some fire companies seem to think that they need. Wish our station had one.

Out in the country, you have to bring your own water to the fire.

They do the same job for a fraction of the cost. All about getting water to the fire

As much as I want to make fun of them for their tanker, the reality is that thing is bad ass. I want one.

I think this fire departments area and calls are brush/forest type fires. That is probably part of why they bought the retires United Stated Military vehicles. If those rigs work out good for them then who are we to judge? I hope they get 40 + years of service and are able to keep maintenance costs down.

Nice catch. All kinds of diff trucks rolling out. I spotted that old Oshkosh from the military right when it peaked it's nose out the bay. Some of my local VFD's have those as well. Cool video.

I LOVE that old ARFF truck that was converted to a tanker. Plus the older rigs. All look great.

Awesome re-purposing of surplus military equipment! That turning radius though...
