4: 52 That 5, 000 gallon truck is not a pumper. It is technically a tanker. Usually at that size, they don't pump, but act as giant reservoirs used for forest fire or rural operations. One thing that you might find interesting is what is known as a tender taskforce tenders are pumpers (we use the term engines) that have a large capacity (ours had about 2, 000 gallons) and a dump valve (which ours could dump the entire 2, 000 gallon tank out of a chute in a minute. Now you might ask, for what purpose would there be to dump water on the ground like that? They often carry portable ponds. IN rural areas with large fires needing extended operations, a team will setup at a hydrant. The tender comes to fill at the hydrant, and then trucks the water to the scene. It's dumped in a large, framed, essentially nylon bag called a portable pond. From this pond, water is drafted into an engine and fed to attack lines. Essentially, if there is no body of water nearby, and no hydrant, you bring the water to you. Edit: saw you included the tender. was seconds off.

Just a FYI, We breath compressed air NOT oxygen. 1. Oxgen is flammable 2. I am not taking a flammable gas strapped to my back into a fire. For my Firedepartment our air packs or as some of us call them, SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus. Our cylinders hold 4500 psi. Which gives us about 45 minutes once we start breathing with them on. Any question, please fill free to ask.

I regret to inform you (not really) that the first fire engine you showed was Novelty, an 1829 experimental locomotive built for the Rainhill trials. It was self propelled and featured a crazy boiler layout over the Vertical boiler. It also, naturally, couldn't spit water unless the rifle-tube using boiler broke, which it often did.

I love fire trucks too I think most boys in their childhood loved them too What was not to like, they were big, red, made all kinds of sounds on their way out to a call and could send off high powered streams of water to quell fires. Not to mentions, that fire fighters, in their kit are modern day knights.

Miss the old Macks. When I was a kid, my home town had the 80s Macks. They were workhorses. Haven't seen one since my childhood, but, where my dad began fighting fires 20 years ago, the bulldog is still their mascot because of the Mack trucks, even though they no longer have any Macks.

In my country, firefighters are not like in other countries, more advanced and reliable not only in extinguishing fires. Likewise with the awareness of road users, when there is a fire truck passing. If in other countries they give way, but in Indonesia it is not like that.

I have to agree that the oshkosh striker is the most badass firetruck out there, but the coolest one is a tiller truck with their ability to navigate with agility that even a long wheelbase ladder truck might not do. (depending on comparison)

A crash tender is a specialized firetruck used in an airport (in aircraft fires and fires resulting from airplane crashes, but can be used also for building fires. Most of the crash tenders in use today are manufactured by Rosenbauer.
