Fort Lee has a tanker? Is this because of the extensive highways that run through it? Or the many difficult to access hydrant areas?

On FLFD's Website, FL-3 (located at CO. 3) was a Simon-Duplex tanker / foam unit ( http://fortleefire.org/FL-3.jpg ) and the old FL-3 before the Duplex ( http://fortleefire.org/Old_FL3.jpg). I would assume like Seth said, this was set up for the highways.

i was told Fort lee FL 3 was part of a tanker task force to jersey city during a water emergency a few years back so it will see that type of work too
