This was the coolest tanker I've ever seen! From what Carroll told us, this truck was an over-the-road tractor for the Department of Defense. It was totally armor-plated and had bullet-proof glass all the way around. Once the DoD decomissioned it, the Friendsville FD picked it up for a good deal. They took some of the armor plating out of it to lighten the load, then shipped it up to Wynn Fire Apparatus in Kentucky to make a tanker out of it. Look at this!!
