Your Biggest Tanker?
So my department has a 4500 gallon tri-axle monster of a tanker that we have given the nickname "the whale." I want to know if anyone has anything bigger. I dont know how to upload a photo from a differant computer but if you check out my page there is a pix of it somewhere. You will notice it (the big white truck) LOL

The CFA does NOT have bulk water tankers. Our structure/wildfire firefighting vehicles are called 'Tankers', and the largest of them carry less than 4000 litres, not gallons. This post is rubbish.

Well, that's interesting! The post I made that comment about, added by someone calling himself 'Aussie Firery', has disappeared! That posters' comments, and a thread he started, and his home page all raised questions for me. I've passed those questions on to the Web Master. I suppose I could attempt to remove my post as well, but then your comment would look strange - so I'll leave this little 'sub thread' as it is. Sorry about any confusion Dustin.

Is bigger really better? I read in Popular Science Magazine about the latest firefighting tool called FIT. It is on www.arasafety.com It is a round canister with a handle which looks like a cross between a frizby and a lunchbox! Pull cord, throw into fire and it will emit a chemical mist potassium chloride) that keeps the blaze from spreading. It will cool a room from 1,000F to 300degrees in 10 seconds.

Ma'am, It was discussed at this post topic http://www.firefighternation.com/forum/topics/889755:Topic:886201 it is one of our latest equipment to our arsenal. But I believe, tanker is still needed. Depending on the situations.
TCSS michael.
