Gmerrill0516 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 They would be used to haul water to a fire in remote areas that do not have water mains to use and no convenient large body of water near by. I've never seen a tractor trailer tanker like that. Usually they are twin screw longer wheel based units with a tank on board...I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Light water is a type of chemical foam used for hydrocarbon fires. Since it is apparently from a chemical company, although the door looks like it is the standard Memphis FD logo, my guess is it was used as part of an in-plant response for any incidents at the plant.It is not a water tanker (or tender for you West coast types). 2 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I've never seen a tractor trailer tanker like that. Usually they are twin screw longer wheel based units with a tank on board...I think.Tractor drawn tankers have been somewhat popular in rural New Jersey (I know that's a strange concept but parts of northwest and southern Jersey are nothing but pine barren). They are also found in other extremely rural areas of the country where bringing water with you, and lots of it, is important.Examples: 2 Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
