That is indeed a tanker (aka Water Tender in California) with a remote dump valves operated from inside the cab. The either were filming a commercial as LEO had stated. or maybe decided to water the asphalt.
Could be he hooked up to a dry hydrant and is dumping his tank. Our city when it hooks up to a dry hydrant when assisting my department they dump the tank before going into town and gets city water from a hydrant so it doesnt mess there tanker up. Ours is designed for having shitty pond water in it
they were filming a commercial, by putting water on the road way it makes the car reflect and stand out from the wet road, our volunteer engine used to go out and we'd hose the road right before the commercial to give it more appealing look on tv.
Like said in other comments, it is a tanker. That red box has a collapsible pool pretty much and if there is a big structure fire of some kind the firefighters can unload that pool, dump the water in it like they are doing in the video and go get more water while the engine at the scene can draft water out of the pool and have plenty of water supply.
Yeah either he had half a tank and he's dumping it for safety reasons, or during a fire they may have been using water from a lake, pond or river. In that case you want to dump that water out before parking the truck in the station because the organic material in natural water can make things nasty
Guess who's most popular during the winter season? Think about it... think harder... water... roads... below zero temperatures... =) There you go... =)
Its a tanker or tender, depending on what part of the country you live in they are called different. He most likely is dumping the rest of his water after a call becuase he still had half a tank left. Those are not fun to drive back to the station half full, water swashes around in the tank and makes turning a little difficult, so we dump whats left
@TF79Swain Depends. On older tankers, the water did slosh around alot, but on these newer tankers, they have baffles in the tank that prevent the water from doing such. However, loaded tankers are still a pain. Makes for a very slow trip up hills and harder to stop downhill.
I know my department does this for grants to show what equipment we need...We will borrow from another department and make a video and send it in with our forms.
water tender-supplies engines and fire suppression crews with water giving them more fight time less refill time keeps fire fighters working longer without stopping for refills
This is not a "tanker." This is called a "tender." There are tankers in the fire service, but they fly. If it's driving, it is a tender. They are used mostly for rural fire operations when there are no hydrants around. They haul between 1500 and 4K gallons of water to the scene, usually dump it all into a big portable pool, and then the engines can pump that water onto the fire while the tender goes to re-load with more water. "they are too slow when full" is wrong. Lots of water > than speed.
@bowlingfirefighter my department is east of the mississippi and we say tender here too. There is a good article about it in one of my comments above if you are interested.
@MrDantastic27 That is a Tanker, I am a firefighter and I would know. See the big tank on the back...thats a give away. A Tender is pretty well the same thing but used in other countries like Germany for Forest Fires. Not called a Tender over here. And Tankers don't fly? In short story, what you see in the video is a Tanker. It looks to be just dumping its water for a specific reason, on the fire service dumping your water it usually goes into a Porta-Pond so it can be drafted into the pumper.
@leafsrule1234 I'm a firefighter too and it appears that this is one of the great debates in the fire service. I found a good article in the forums section of my.firefighternation but youtube wont let me post the address. search for ICS & NIMS TANKER VS. TENDER DEFINITIONS in the forum section. Also use dot com at the end of the address.
@MrDantastic27 ......My dept Mr.D Has 2 tankers aka T-600 Kenworth wheeler and the other is a 89 International Loadstar Both with 5000 Gallon tanks and both trucks are capable of doing 75 mph's both have the same abilty as any other method outh there when your 8 miles from a hydrant....
its called a tanker and the reason why it dumping water on the road its bc there getting rid of the old water in the tank some waters have metals in them and will cause the tank to rust if you dont put new water in them every so often
It's simple, its a tanker. We have a neighboring station with a truck like that. And if the police office told you the were filming a commercial, they were probably filming the rate that the water flows out of the chutes. As a volunteer firefighter myself, i know how important it is to have optimum water flow in an emergency situation, so more than likely that is what they are doing, just to demonstrate it.
I bet it was a car commercial and they wanted the roads to look sleak and wet to make the car look good. Its quite the scenery you have by your house, you know.
or they coulda been just telling you it was a commercial because your a dumb f*** nosy little retard, and they could have actually been filling up your neighbors pool (you dont use water that has been sitting in the truck to fill the pool, you dump it on the road and re fill with fresh treated water) and didnt want your nosy retard self over there.
or they just dumped untreated water out to replace it with treated water because you dont want creek water or pond water sitting in the tank- its bad for the tank, the pump, and the pipes
And as for what they are doing in this video, obviously the cop said its for a commercial- so im not sure what you don't understand about that. But I guess I will break it down for you. Apparently somebody came to the fire department and said "hey guys, I would like to make a commercial, but I need the road wet for this commercial. If we make a donation to your department, will you be willing to come out and wet the road for us?" and the fire department officer said "sure" and ta da....
its called a tanker. Usually carries at least 2000 gallons. Its used for hauling water to areas without a water point such as a pressurized hydrant. So that we can shuttle large amounts of water at a time to an area way up in the sticks of Gods green nowhere.
@robynchoochoo a "water truck" huh? lol... God I hope you aren't on that department. Now if you are just somebody who has seen this type truck, but aren't familiar with this type of apparatus, your actually pretty close. Its called a tanker, and is used for areas where a shuttle is necessary to supply water. versus hooking straight into a pressurized hydrant from the engine.. good job if your not in the fire service, but God help that fire district if you are a firefighter lol
My bf is like "it's not weird it's a firetruck" (he is a firefighter) I'm like "I never seen that b4 soo it hella weird o-o;". Then we fought ova how much of a smartass he is :D
@MrEJSchroeder, ummmmm.....no. That is not correct, we have a 2500 gallon tanker and it doesnt matter if its 75%,50%,25% full, you can drive it however fast you want. Just so you will know for next time, they put baffles in the tanks to keep the water from sloshing like that.
@TAPhillips2 Yes, baffles are correct if the tanks have them. Departments are not required to follow NFPA standards. In my department we had a truck that was an old milk truck with a 2300 gallon tank that did not have baffles. Its all about age and how it was built.
Just emptying out the tanker. I'm a cadet on a fire department and to empty our tanker out. The fire fighters have us cadets go out to a training sight and see if we can control the hoses. Never like this though. But we no longer have our old Open cab tanker </3 new 2011 peterbuilt
Dumping water from a pond/lake to fill up with hydrant water. We do it on our department as well, the sediment from a pond/lake is ok to pump but isn't stuff you want sitting in your tanker.
gobe760 is probably most likely to be right . . . Im also a firefighter and other then doing it just for kicks I cant think of any better reason, if they were just being stupid they wouldnt do it with a cop at the end of the street
its a tanker with some left over water in it.. drain the water out or it screws up your driving wicked. only when a tanker is full is it really safe to drive on the road
If the tanker had used some of its water it needs to empty the rest before driving at 20+ mph to avoid a rollover. When the tank is not empty or full the water can slosh around during turns. If it didnt empty it would increase the trucks chance of rolling over.
not sure what they're doing im a firefighter and i can't think why they'd be dumping the entire tanker on the road but what gobo760 says could be possible but its hard to say
@camerongoll They are using the truck to wet the road for the commercial. This truck is normally used to transport water to fires in areas without fire hydrants.
@camerongoll That is a firetruck. Im in a Vol. Fire Dept and that is a tanker truck, as a common name, that is used to shuttle water from a source to the fire in areas without hydrants. The valves being used to empty the water out the rear is used to fill "drop tanks" which add to the water storage at the fire
It's called "wetting down the roads". It's done in both movies and in commercials. When roads are wet, they appear both better maintained, and also reflect the colors and lights surrounding them, making the roads themselves look more beautiful. If you ever watch a movie or commercial where a car is driving on a road (car commercials are especially notorious for this) the car is almost always driving on a wet surface.
well I would have to agree with the wet road commercial however I know when we fill our tanker with pond water or any other non treated water we must dump it and refill it with fresh treated town water off a hydrant or we will have problems with little green guys wanting to grow and live in it and thats not good at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I believe this truck is used to set up burn lines. They drive along the road, or pieces of land and dump water like this to make a wet strip of land or road to contain the flame, in controlled burns. In this case though I believe b7farms716 is correct
@crazedcountryboy Consider yourself corrected. The dump valves are so the truck can be emptied, quickly, into portable water holding devices known as "Portable Ponds" or "Porta-Tanks". A metal framed, folding, vinyl or canvas device which is stored on a fire truck. You can set several of them up at a fire, usually a rural fire scene, where there are no fire hydrants. The trucks fighting the fire then draft or siphon the water out of said portable device, and into their trucks.
BREAKING NEWS!!! After draining all the water from this tanker for a tire performance commercial, the stunt driver spun out of control crashing into a pole and set fire. Fire firefighters tried to do all they could but they had no more water to put the fire out. Updates about the driver are being withheld until authorities know an actual cause of why the car spun out of control.
In our department our tankers and brush trucks must have either full or empty tank when being driven. If the tanks are even missing a little bit of water we are required to dump the tank and go refill it,
@MISCHIF2: I have total respect for the fire department and firefighters, but that policy seems like a complete waste of time and resources. Is there a driving safety issue when the tank isn't full or empty?
@mlady204103 They are trained well to drive the tanker full or empty. Some departments have regulations that sometime require them to dump the water and refill. Who knows where they got the water from. It could have come from a pond or swimming pool.
Our fire department sometimes gets asked by the township to dump water along a road to test the road's stormwater system while engineers observe the runoff into the sewer. Something like that could have been happening here.
This is a water tender/tanker. (Depending on your location it can be called either) If they were filming a commercial I can only assume that they needed a wet road for it and used this apparatus to put the water on the road.
im a firemen. in your area im assuming there are close to no hydrants. the purpose of this truck is to basically fill temporary pools of water so other pumpers can draft out of them and pump water to the fire. they were probably comming from a fire or something and had half a tank and didnt bother driving back to the firehouse with a full tank.
@maudester....ptg4n6 is correct they are called tenders..an air apparatus is a tanker...but in most cases all depts call them tankers...as u are correct to my depts call them tankers also.... an notice the orange light on the tanker its prolly a surplused unit used as an water truck now
@Kubota606 Fire trucks in my city all have amber lights on them as well as red and blue just like this one. We have tankers just like this one. Here they use them for brush and forest fires mostly. They were probably draining the tank to release sediment inside the tank. They have to flush the mineral sediment every so often so it doesn't clog up the fittings or hoses.
This truck is called a TENDER. It is for water transport in areas that are not covered by hydrant water supply, They are most common in rural areas and forested areas.
They also carry portable water tanks, that can be deployed at structure fires for additional water supply if necessary for additional engine companys.
FYI: In the fire service a "TANKER" is an aircraft . This piece of apparatus is a "TENDER.
lol they were wetting the road down....they said they were filming a commercial. which part of this confuses you? if you call 911 and you have a fire and no fire hydrants...that truck comes and "Delivers" the water to your Home....just Like a Big Breast Milk Truck
there is too much NIMS in these responses. We flush our "tenders" every few months. sometimes there is sediment in the tank that can reek havoc on the pump. so we dump the water and then refill the tank.
It's a tanker truck, our stations and most other stations call it "Tanker" they hold around 5,000 gallons of water and they are brought to huge fires as a back up water supply. The truck was just emptying it's load, surprised you never saw it, they're very common.
those shoots on the back and side are to fill a portable Pond at the scene of a structure fire.. thier called Quick Dumps so they can go refill the truck and the scene still has water
@onebradh they're primarily used to fill portable tanks for wildland fires, unless you r fighting rural structure fires and do not have a water supply
Many directors like to have a wet roadway to shoot car commercials -- in order to reflect light onto the underside of the vehicle. The tanker is doing a dump and roll along the route that has been planned out for the shot. A regular pumper cannot move when pumping, and it carries much less water.
I have heard of FDs using wet streets as firebreaks, in case of a forest/brush fire. Wet the roads, and the fire embers wont spread to the other side.
@thedish5 with all due respect, that doesn't make much sense. Embers are carried by the wind and cause spot fires regardless if a street is wet or not.
They were probably filming a commercial

not sure what they're doing im a firefighter and i can't think why they'd be dumping the entire tanker on the road but what gobo760 says could be possible but its hard to say

My guess would be emptying the tank and also they can't have the water stay in the tank for to long either or it will get ugly.

@camerongoll They are using the truck to wet the road for the commercial. This truck is normally used to transport water to fires in areas without fire hydrants.

@camerongoll That is a firetruck. Im in a Vol. Fire Dept and that is a tanker truck, as a common name, that is used to shuttle water from a source to the fire in areas without hydrants. The valves being used to empty the water out the rear is used to fill "drop tanks" which add to the water storage at the fire

It's called "wetting down the roads". It's done in both movies and in commercials. When roads are wet, they appear both better maintained, and also reflect the colors and lights surrounding them, making the roads themselves look more beautiful. If you ever watch a movie or commercial where a car is driving on a road (car commercials are especially notorious for this) the car is almost always driving on a wet surface.

well I would have to agree with the wet road commercial however I know when we fill our tanker with pond water or any other non treated water we must dump it and refill it with fresh treated town water off a hydrant or we will have problems with little green guys wanting to grow and live in it and thats not good at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I believe this truck is used to set up burn lines. They drive along the road, or pieces of land and dump water like this to make a wet strip of land or road to contain the flame, in controlled burns. In this case though I believe b7farms716 is correct
crazedcountryboy 1 month ago
@crazedcountryboy Consider yourself corrected. The dump valves are so the truck can be emptied, quickly, into portable water holding devices known as "Portable Ponds" or "Porta-Tanks". A metal framed, folding, vinyl or canvas device which is stored on a fire truck. You can set several of them up at a fire, usually a rural fire scene, where there are no fire hydrants. The trucks fighting the fire then draft or siphon the water out of said portable device, and into their trucks.

BREAKING NEWS!!! After draining all the water from this tanker for a tire performance commercial, the stunt driver spun out of control crashing into a pole and set fire. Fire firefighters tried to do all they could but they had no more water to put the fire out. Updates about the driver are being withheld until authorities know an actual cause of why the car spun out of control.

In our department our tankers and brush trucks must have either full or empty tank when being driven. If the tanks are even missing a little bit of water we are required to dump the tank and go refill it,

@mlady204103 They are trained well to drive the tanker full or empty. Some departments have regulations that sometime require them to dump the water and refill. Who knows where they got the water from. It could have come from a pond or swimming pool.

Our fire department sometimes gets asked by the township to dump water along a road to test the road's stormwater system while engineers observe the runoff into the sewer. Something like that could have been happening here.

This is a water tender/tanker. (Depending on your location it can be called either) If they were filming a commercial I can only assume that they needed a wet road for it and used this apparatus to put the water on the road.
FFNo18 2 months ago
im a firemen. in your area im assuming there are close to no hydrants. the purpose of this truck is to basically fill temporary pools of water so other pumpers can draft out of them and pump water to the fire. they were probably comming from a fire or something and had half a tank and didnt bother driving back to the firehouse with a full tank.

Kubota606 2 months ago
@Kubota606 Fire trucks in my city all have amber lights on them as well as red and blue just like this one. We have tankers just like this one. Here they use them for brush and forest fires mostly. They were probably draining the tank to release sediment inside the tank. They have to flush the mineral sediment every so often so it doesn't clog up the fittings or hoses.

This truck is called a TENDER. It is for water transport in areas that are not covered by hydrant water supply, They are most common in rural areas and forested areas.
They also carry portable water tanks, that can be deployed at structure fires for additional water supply if necessary for additional engine companys.
FYI: In the fire service a "TANKER" is an aircraft . This piece of apparatus is a "TENDER.

there is too much NIMS in these responses. We flush our "tenders" every few months. sometimes there is sediment in the tank that can reek havoc on the pump. so we dump the water and then refill the tank.

It's a tanker truck, our stations and most other stations call it "Tanker" they hold around 5,000 gallons of water and they are brought to huge fires as a back up water supply. The truck was just emptying it's load, surprised you never saw it, they're very common.

Many directors like to have a wet roadway to shoot car commercials -- in order to reflect light onto the underside of the vehicle. The tanker is doing a dump and roll along the route that has been planned out for the shot. A regular pumper cannot move when pumping, and it carries much less water.

@thedish5 with all due respect, that doesn't make much sense. Embers are carried by the wind and cause spot fires regardless if a street is wet or not.
