Taylor,



I stand corrected. There is only one tank, as you indicated. Just as many aerials have air supply available in the bucket, Duck equipped their Pierce rescue engine with an air tank for the pump operator. The reflection makes it appear that their are two tanks, however, there is only one.



Here is an updated photo of Engine 11, a 2005 Pierce Dash 2000/750/40 with job number 16636.
