@789fuzzy Yeah it was quite a site! I belive every dept in porter county came with a tanker except for Heberon, Beverly Shores, Pine Twp, Porter, and Burns Harbor.

[789fuzzy]

kouts sent one tanker, but two times I went on both,( we were cleared and then got called back out) and I think Washington called up to a tanker plan 2 or 3, tankers were running to the airport as far as the eye could see

[PierceT520]

I belive they only sent one tanker. But is was very long. Toned and 4:30am and cleared around 5pm.
