Sequoia National Forest Patrol 47, Model 20 engine 75 gallon 85 gpm.
The Model 20 is a very long lived design, first introduced in the 1960s as a slip on engine. It was used as a light engine for many years with a 2-3 person crew and tank up to 200 gallons. Since the late 1990s they are used almost exclusively as a patrol truck with a small 50-75 gallon tank and a single prevention technician (sometimes an additional FF left behind when an engine goes to a fire off forest will be assigned).
