20th Civil Engineer Squadron - Shaw AFB, SC
Tanker 12
2007 International/Pierce. 1200 GPM pump/4000 gallon tank.
While I was deployed last year this tanker was rolled while returning from a call at Pointsett Bombing Range.
Photos by Kirk Hall.
It was replaced a couple of months later with the similar rig from Tyndall AFB , FL.

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.

Fortunately though, both Airmen were wearing their seatbelts and walked away with minor bumps and bruises.

The truck looks like it had a high center of gravity.
Was the tank full at the time of the accident?
How did it flip over?
