Loudoun County,Va.

[mnsand]

Last year, Loudoun County placed an order for four additional tankers. Although Hamilton's was built by Pierce, the new contract of 4 went to 4-Guys.



During the last few months, the four new tankers have been arriving.



The first tanker in service was Tanker 610 in Lucketts. Loudoun County is part of the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Council of Governments (COG) system, and the county has received the number "6". Thus, each Loudoun unit starts with the number 6 followed by the station number. In this case Tanker 610 runs from Lucketts Station 10.

I don't have the serial number



THe new tankers are equipped with two 2,100 gallon folding tanks, three 10 inch square electric dumps with extension chutes (both sides and rear), On Spot automatic snow chains, and rear vision cameras.



Again, the tankers are owned by the county but painted in the volunteer fire department colors.
