Why don’t we use a drop tank so the tanker can dump and be heading for more water instead of pumping off each load of water. Much faster and way more efficient. I come from a rural department and setting a drop tank and establishing a water supply is the key to fighting rural fires

You are correct. Especially with a barn fire that normally has a huge fire load. To counter that you need a large flow per minute. Something that is much harder to achieve if you aren’t using a portable pond operation to maximize speed of tanker offloading.

There is an update process going on throughout the county for those that use tankers as their only water method (no hydrant access). The first in engine drops going in, leaving their siamese on the end, so that the first in tanker can hook up to supply. That tanker then drops another lead with a siamese for 2 more tankers to hook into, and you can either, repeat this as you go down the line, and create multiple pump off ports (all going to that first tanker who’s supplying the scene for smaller fires) or , while tankers drop their porta tanks and set up a supply engine at the end of the driveway (which will hook into the other side of that siamese going back the driveway) for large volume water flow. It’s basically a hybrid system to get water into the scene while the dump site gets set up. It keeps the scene decluttered, so that the units back the driveway can operate. It’s also important to note, that this is also setup several hundred feet away from the driveway on either side to allow engines/trucks/rescues to get back the driveway if needed (say on a second alarm or up) where you might have 2-3 trucks flowing master streams from the aeriel to knock the bulk of the fire.

I don't understand the Tanker relay . looks like a lot of hose . Hook up and unhook to keep the water flow . It looks like to me if I would have been the first in I would have .set a Dump tank in front of the house had the Tankers bump and go refill . !

There is no sense of urgency because the barn is already gone. Being from Boston, you get knocked on your face if you went to a barn fire. Being a predominately volunteer community, if a dept is out within 5 minutes of dispatch, you’re doing good. Then you might have that same amount of time to the scene, so you’re already 10 minutes behind the game with a large open air building, that is full of nothing but flammable materials, and by that point, it’s 90% gone and usually partially collapsed at the point (so a surround and drown, and keep from spreading) it’s not like this was a house fire that’s fully involved with triple entrapment on the 3rd floor.

This is southern lancaster county, each department has a considerable amount of areas where they can pull water from, and rest assured they always go to the closest one. You will not run a half hr loop to fill tankers, ever. In fact, they have a rather large creek, within a mile and a half of the fire location, that is a fairly common fill site.
