Loudoun County,Va.

Here is what the Mack Granite new Tanker 612 replaced - a 2005 International 7600/Pierce  1500/3000 with job number 17249.

 

This was the county's first "large" tanker when the department began an aggressive process of upgrading tanker trucks, especially in the west end of the county which is more rural.  When this tanker was delivered, it was originally Tanker 5 in Hamilton.  When Hamilton received a new 2009 International 7600/Pierce 1500/3000, the 2005 model became a county reserve.  From there is was re-assigned to Tanker 612 in Lovettsville.  Last fall, it went back to reserve status and has the designation of Tanker 680.
