The good the bad and the ugly - Water Tenders
















In the west they are called "water tenders" out east "water tankers" to the general public they are "water trucks" either way they bring water to areas without a sufficient water supply to fight a fire.

The California Department of Forestry (CDF) now officially known as "CalFire", The United States Forest Service (USFS) and other cooperators such as Bureau of Land Management (BLM), depend on these vehicles to fight fires in areas with limited or no water supplies.
