Rural Firefighting Operations Water Supply

In the RM of Buckland, there are very few fire hydrants. All water for firefighting
incidents must be hauled in by tanker trucks. Each of our Buckland tankers are equipped
with dump valves and port-a-tanks. The port-a-tank can be quickly set up near the
engine and the tanker will dump its water supply into the port-a-tank in less than two
minutes and instantly head off to be refilled. This ensures a more constant supply of
water, as the tankers are quickly shuttling water to the scene, rather than sitting
connected to the engine and waiting to be emptied and switched out with another truck
(nursing).
