- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- Our newest apparatus is Tender 6- a tactical tender that's not only a rolling water supply, but a firefighting tool on the front line. The tender will be housed at our Station 6- and will go into service at the end of the month.
In this "Fleet Feature"- get an up close look at the tender's capabilities and what's on board.

Tender 6, is a beauty. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
Have a great time tender 6 with your calls! Today i might visit that station because my grandpa is Greg King!
Good looking rig!
Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I like this tender. I do have a couple of question on the design of this truck. Why are there no 1.75 preconnects or a dead lay on this tender and why 2- 2.5 intakes instead of a 4 inch with a siamese adapter? Thank you
Our tactical tender is an anomaly and designed specifically for our response model. We are a full-time paid department and this tender is cross-staffed at a firehouse with 4 dedicated FF’s. It has a 4-door cab so the whole crew can jump over to it and all respond as a water supply group for tender operations and water shuttles. There will always be a Type 1 engine on scene with this tender for fire attack. The crew also has the option to split the crew if they had to and take 2 and 2 or 3 and 1 and respond in tandem with E6 (Engine 6) and TT6 (Tactical Tender 6).
It is a 2,000 gallon tank and 750 gpm pump. There is a 2.5” pre-connect crosslay (behind the netting) that could be used for an offensive exterior or defensive attack, but mainly used as a quick lay to supply an engine or nursing operation. No 1.75” as its purpose is more water supply and for wildland firefighting than initial attack on a structure or vehicle fire.
As far as the intakes, the 3” fill hose is easier to handle for one person than a 4” or larger hose and for volume going into the 6-way baffled tank and more inlet control with valves at the back of the truck.
@@WestMetroFire Ok thank you for answering my questions. Now, I understand your departments perspective. Be safe and have a good day.
Nice Rig. I believe that is the most water you can go to in gallons on a single axle . Nice truck, but where's the wildland or just fire fighting tools ?
The hand tools are on the passenger side, in an upper compartment just behind the cab.
@West Metro Fire Department. First Great looking rig, 2nd, and for educational purposes only, at my Dept, the "Tanker" is driven either 100% empty or 100% full, this is in response to losing two firefighters in the past when the truck was driven half full back from a run and the water shifted and flipped the truck. So, how do you accommodate the need to drive the truck while flowing water, and hence emptying the tank on it. Or, is it felt that at the low speed that you roll while flowing, is still in a safe manner, and if that is the case would you empty out the tank or fill it up before reaching road speeds? I am just interested in the operation, every Fire Dept is different, with different SOPs etc. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.
Tender 6 is specifically engineered as a tactical tender to provide pump and roll capabilities. With current tank design technology, it is baffled 6 ways (up/down, side to side, front to back) to minimize water slosh and weight transfer. The tank also sits low in between the frame rails to lower the center of gravity also reducing rollover potential.
Not much ground clearance , keep it on the two track .
