The PTO Pump allows us to use this apparatus in combatting grass and brush fire, while doing a "pump n roll" operation. On top midship is a 1.75" nozzle
for this operation. Firefighter can attack the fire from this position as the apparatus moves about the fire ground. This has proven to be luxury in combatting wildland type fires.
The tanker's main water supply is from a draft site using a Tanker water shuttle, a portable water tank and uses a 4" draft hose.
