Tanker 1 is a 1993
Pierce on a Freightliner chasis. It has a 1000 GPM pump and
1000 gallon tank. Many areas in Polk County are not covered
well by hydrants and thus Tanker 1 responds not only in the
outlying areas of Tryon's district, but mutual aid areas as
well. |

2004 Chevrolet C3500 with rescue body. It carries spare SCBAs
