More NC Rigs - BFD1151 - 10-03-2008
Charlotte's tankers serve two main purposes
rovide adequate water to areas lacking hydrants and serve as foam tenders for foam operations. They can also be used as a backup engine and it is my understanding that when they are serving in this capacity, they use the 70-series number on the truck. Otherwise, when used as a tanker they follow the station number that they are assigned to. Corrections?Charlotte FD

Sorry about the quality of this one, I plan to re-shoot it sometime. It was a "new" delivery and we were there, so I shot it.

That is actually ex-Engine 12 running as Engine 12. The "Road Warriors" sticker on the front is the only way I know.
You are also correct in reference to the Tankers in the City. I was assigned to be the driver of Tanker 21 yesterday. The numbers have been changed from the 70 series to Tanker 21. That being said during the floods a couple of weeks ago the tankers were manned as Engines running as the 70s numbers.

This rig Andrew and I found at a repair shop owned by the Chief of North Transylvania. I think the chief was interested in selling it to a needy FD, but I don't have a contact if anyone was interested. Andrew may have that information.

I enjoy seeing 4x4 rigs, so I thought I would include this one since it was a cool find. It used to be utilized as a tanker, but Saluda recently added cribbing and a complement of rescue tools it could be a rescue piece. The cool thing about this truck was it had an awesome sounding Detroit in it as well!!
