Given the fact that tankers primary mission is to haul water, why do a few departments invest in four door cabs that could carry 7 men? And do they get that many people out for a call?

My department runs a "Engine-Tanker" (Pierce Enforcer 1500/2500/20) which we run as both a Engine and a Tanker, it has full set of firefighting equipment, it will run 3rd out to urban fires behind our main Engine (Pierce Enforcer 1500/1000/30) and our Quint (Pierce Lance 100' 1500/300/0) and 1st out to rural fires, when running as a Tanker it normally runs with only 2 firefighters with the exception when running Auto-aid to our north partner department in which case we will be the 2nd due Tanker and we will run 4 firefighters for that, 2 will stay at the fire scene and run the Tanker shuttle operation at the fire ground and the 3rd firefighter will man the refill hydrant/portable pump.

@Wa3ypx for the most part I agree with you, Engine-Tankers are a niche apparatus, with in my opinion two main utilities1. As stated above and 2. Where the department doesn't have the space, manpower, funds or a combination of the 3 to run a separate engine and tanker, some departments also remount their cabs onto tanker bodies as a means of saving money or maximising use of a retired apparatus, we also run a conventional Tanker which backs up our rural Engine (Engine-Tanker) and runs 1st out to Auto/mutual-aid, our Engine-Tankers fills a niche in our department of needing a large tank rural Engine and a 2nd Tanker, it also saves space for a Heavy-Rescue in the future (partly funded by the money saved by combining the rural Engine & Tanker).

Why doesn't the traffic yield to the tankers? Isn't it state law that traffic must yield to emergency vehicles?
