    Red Horse, You are correct on the Bargaintown rig, it was purpose built for the Fire service. The 93 CH/59 Heil is still in service. While most commercial tank trucks are designed to carry a specific weight, it is not typical that they hold that weight 24/7/365 unless there is a fire. Fire Service tankers do just that and it takes a toll on them. Here's an analogy: Pick up your wife and carry her to the other end of the house. No big deal (unless she's the size of MY wife!) Now, sit in a chair and have her sit on your lap. For several hours. Now, jump up and run, carrying her to the other end of the house. See the difference?

    What's your definition of "relatively young"? Most of the retired tankers I have posted are over 25 years old. When I add the "(retired)" to my post, I am indicating that the rig is no longer in active service with that Fire Department. It could very well be in service somewhere else. There are many reasons they get replaced, including age, need, manual transmission, CDL requirements, and funding. Some that were strictly water carriers have been replaced by pumper-tankers that combined two apparatus into one, eliminating the need for that second or third pumper in the fleet.
