TankersTankers are our primary water supply apparatus. Because our response area is not serviced by water hydrants, we have to bring all of our water to a fire scene. E67/68 are sister engines that act as our frontline tankers that are also ISO qualified attack engines. These engines carry 3000 gallons of water and have 1000gpm pumps.These engines are valuable resources because they are also equipped with air packs, hand tools, ladders and a generator. T63 can carry 3500 gallons of water and has a 1500gpm pump. its main function is as a nurse tender and as a mutual aid tanker. Engine 67/68 (The Twins)
