Comment by Marty D. Ross on April 5, 2009 at 8:02pm - Wanted to share a story . We were at a house fire when the news people showed up wanting an interview, they asked how much water we could supply at one time. Our answer was if we get all our trucks in route we can supply 30,000 gallons. What was said on T.V was we could supply 300,000 gallons in one truck, and showed a picture of our 2200 gallon tanker. Needless to say Chiefs from other departments said as long as you bring that truck we want you on our scene.. Of course they new the difference.

- My first department was known as the county water boys. Things have really changed around here, Once the city of springfield had to call on a volunteer dept. to supply water for a large structure. We have a fleet of 6 tankers,89 international called the flame, 1976 ford named Sully, 1985 chevy named kodiac, Theres a very old milk truck, (gotta go) a1976 chevy (the piece) 76 ford The ghost. but things are looking up very soon we will be taking delivery of our new pumper from deep south.

Hi everyone im on a volunteer dept in nw ohio. We have 2 tankers {tenders} one is a 3600 gallon 2 man cab with a gpm pump and the other is a 2006 Freightliner 3500 gallon 5 man cab with a 1250gpm midship pump. It fun to watch the expression on the pump operators faces when you pull up and the portable tank is getting low the sigh of relief.
