Cedar Island VFD Tanker 2 Chevrolet C50 Fire Truck

            Cedar Island Volunteer Fire Department, North Carolina operates this late 1960s vintage Chevrolet C50 fire truck as a water tanker. In the remote Outer Banks of Norh Carolina fire hydrants are few and far between, so this truck is used to shuttle water to fire scenes. The green metal frame and yellow fabric seen hanging on the side of the truck is a portable drop tank, which when removed and set up is similar to an above ground swimming pool. This device allows the tanker to quickly discharge its load of water at the scene so that it can quickly return to a water source and continue bringing water. Pumper trucks at the fire scene draft water out of the drop tank.
