- (1) 100' deadloaded 3" crosslay
- (2) high-rise packs each with 100' 1.75" lines, wyes and pony 3" sections
- 700' 5" supply line
- Mics. short (25' to 35') sections of 3", 4" and 5" hose

- Large selection of adapters allowing for seamless use of all combinations involving threaded (NST and local) connections from 1.5" through 3" and Storz connections from 2.5" through 5" as well as street hydrant and dry hydrant connections

This unit is primarily set up for water supply, but can mount an attack with up to three handlines if necessary (one preconnected crosslay, plus two hi-rise packs wyed from a 3" feeder).

We have 2 pumper-tankers. Both have 3000 gallon tanks.... one has a 500 gpm pump and the other has a 1250 gpm pump so we can classify it as a Class A engine.

Both carry full engine equipment including SCBA, spare bottles, 24' extension ladders and a roof ladder, hand tools, salvage covers, fans, K-12s, 3" supply line and attack line. Generally they are used as a tanker but can function as a first due engine if needed.

Like the other guy I call ours a tanker/pumper not the other way around. It is pretty spartan as far as equipment goes although it has enough to keep the fire at bay until a real engine gets there.

3000 gal
Commerical 3-seater cab
350 HP (not enough)
Manual trans
750 GPM fire pump with relief valve and a full (small) pump panel, 3-2.5" discharges and 2-4.5" suction as well as 2.5" pony suction
25' 2.5" suction hose with strainer
Floating strainer
100' SJ 1.5" crosslay (wildland)
200' DJ 1.75" crosslay (structure)
500' or so of 2.5" supply hose in a cross bed next to the crosslays, not preconnected
All the brass (adapters, reducers, hammers, clamps, wyes, etc) that an engine carries
Floating strainer
Shovel
Pulaski
McLeod
Flat Head Axe
2-200' wildland 1.5" hose packs w/tees
2-100' wildland 1" laterals w/nozzles
4.5" suction hose
2.5" suction hose
3000 gallon floating wall drop tank. (I don't like it but it is compact enough to fit in a compartment and we never use it anyway).

5 MREs
Medical bag
Burn kit
Flashlight

OAL about 32' for low center of gravity.
