After I took the photo above, 2 firefighters took a command car and I followed them to an unmanned substation, some 8 miles east of Quincy. A BIG Thank You to the station captain and there crew! Here I got this unique truck.
Tender 3231 is a 1983 International Paystar 5000 6x6 with bodywork from Pirsch. It has a 1250 gpm rearmounted pump and carries 2000 gallons of water. A separate Deutz/Diesel powers the pump for pump and roll capabilities. It was originally in service with the US Department of Energy at Hanford. The Hanford Site is a huge former nuclear test and now waste site in Central Washington. The Grant Co Dist. 3 had a second International/Pirsch water tender. The body was removed from the original chassis and remounted on an M-54 ex-military chassis.
