SIGNMAN

We have only used the tanker a few times (not a bad thing), once in district and it has performed excellent.

We have always used our tankers more on mutual aid runs than in district. My avatar photo (photo by Ed Harvey) shows the new tanker dumping water at a live burn in Lakeville CT.

I have been waiting for signman to chime in here as he was the truck committee chair for the tanker and did 95% of the work on the specs.

O.K. MARK, HERE YOU GO. Three long years in the making. we visited many other fire companies in two states, to see what was out there. WOW !! we took our needs, other ideas from others, We had many vendors, that could built a tanker for us, but as time moved on, one by one , they couldn't do this, couldn't do that. Some tried to sell us something that wouldn't even work for us. One vendor did do what we asked. thank you. Just ask an i will try to answer your questions.

Actual fire building is in the Town of Washington/Millbrook Fire District.

Millbrook contracts JHK to cover the area for fire protection, but not EMS. This would make sense, as when i called 911 for an ambulance at my house, I got MFD/NDP, but if my house were to light up, I'd get JHK. (which I am quite thankful for as they are MUCH closer!)

Until last night I thought it was a borderline alarm with Millbrook and Dover on first alarm, much like the Hammond Hill Area.

SURPRISE !!!!

Exactly, we have only a limited amount of drivers for our new tanker as well; they are mostly drivers that operate larger type vehicles for a living and respect what they are driving.

The few an the proud !!!!

Yep!!

Wow, now that is dedication to one's profession.

RIGHT ON!! DIDN'T MISS A BEAT. THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT MARK.

If the leprechauns paint your trucks green, they do the smerfs paint trucks blue?

EASY, BLUE IS A GREAT COLOR. WASSAIC FIRE @ RESUCE USE'S BLUE !! WE ARE NOT SMERF!!!

And no one had a camera ??????

The paint might start to chip or peel at some time. Hopefully the doors are prepped correctly!! If it is repainted, it might not match!! On our rescue an tanker we have rollup doors that where unpainted. So far no problems. Thanks for asking. Good luck.
