Sierra National Forest Water Tender 1
2005 Pierce / IH 350 gpm pto pump, 1500 gallon tank
The USFS in California typically uses smaller water tenders capable of negotiating narrow mountain roads. They operate these as "tactical tenders" with a 2 person crew. They can be used as a light engine (with a large water tank) if needed, equipped with a chainsaw, hose packs and capable of pump and roll.
In 2001 the USFS made the first of a large order for water tenders from Pierce. Due to frequent overloading, the top racks were ordered removed in 2010 / 2011.
