South Metro operates 6 water tenders which are staffed when needed by the Engine, Tower or Medic crew housed with them. South Metro protects many areas without fire hydrants which requires us to bring our own water to extinguish fires with. All of our tenders carry around 3,000 gallons of water. Technical details - 1976 Peterbuilt / SVI 2,600 gallon water tank with compressed air foam system.
