New fire truck tackles brush blaze
Fire District 5 has a new fire
truck to help its citizens. The
truck is both a fire, pumper and
water tender combined to what
firefighters call a "tactical ten-
der."
The truck arrived on time the
first week of May to go into ser-
vice for the this year's wildland-
brush fire season and serve the
needs of fire emergencies in Fire
District 5 and Mason County.
Manufactured in Georgia, the
truck was driven to Mason Coun-
ty by two volunteer department
members. It is the first new fire-
fighting truck the department
has purchased in 20 years.
Taxpayers in the fire district
approved a property tax lid lift
in 2006. District officials said
then the funds would allow for
new fire equipment for the dis-
trict and the department is buy-
ing new equipment with those
funds.
The first equipment purchase
in 2006 bought a new medic
unit and now the new fire truck,
which is part at'the department's
apparatus replacement plan.
The average age of fire trucks
in Fire District 5 is 28 years
and department personnel are
welcoming the upgrading of the
fleet.
The tender is more than a
"water tanker," a term from
older days. The unit is a tacti-
cal tender, which has both the
features of a fire engine and wa-
ter tender. It is also known as
a pumper-tender, which has a
larger tirefighting pump, such
as those of a fire engine, and a
large water tank, such as that
of a water tender, combined on
one unit.
The truck also features a com-
pressed air tbam system and
firefighters can apply firefight-
ing tbam to the water to make it
more eflbctive at extinguishing
fires. That feature will also in-
crease the wildland tirefighting
capability of the unit.
