Norwalk Tanker

Some pictures of our "new" tanker that was donated by New Canaan FD. It is lettered and training on it will begin soon.

Sorry for the picture quality, I took these in the apparatus maintenance garage with poor lighting and tight space. I plan on getting it outside for clearer pictures soon.

Joe, is NFD gonna use this mostly up on the highway or what duties are the Tanker going to be assigned to? Just curious. Hope NFD has good luck with the truck and NCFD did!

The intended use is for water supply in the western (New Canaan/Darien boarder) side of the city and the northern (Wilton boarder) side of the city. Both areas have non-hydranted streets so the rig will be assigned for those boxes with possibly a split-company configuration (i.e. a member of the ladder co. may be broken off to drive it and park it near the first due engine). The highway has also been mentioned, especially the Merritt because there is NO dry standpipes up there like there is on I-95. It will be a good resource for the surrounding towns as well.
