Need drinking water for a cistern or house tank? That is a different truck.

The fleet is Type 2 and Type 3 tenders: an LMTV 4×4 wildland tender (non-CDL), a 4,000-gallon Peterbilt 349, and a 3,000-gallon GMC. Every truck drafts, dumps, and sprays. US DOT 3825308.
The fleet
#406-1 · Non-CDL · off-road
Wildland fire tender
Military-spec 4×4, and the only non-CDL truck in the fleet. This is the tender that still gets there when the two-track is gone, the hill is burned over, and a highway truck has to wait on the road.
#406-2 · Biggest load
4,000 gallons
The 4,000-gallon Peterbilt. CDL required. Dust, compaction, livestock tanks, and fire fills when you need a full load in fewer trips.
#406-9 · Workhorse
3,000 gallons
A 3,000-gallon CDL tender for the jobs that do not need the Peterbilt and do not need the 4×4 — roads, sites, and tanks we can reach on rubber.
Size a load against the 4,000-gallon Peterbilt, or call and we will send the 4×4 if the road will not hold a highway truck.
That is about 1 load on a 4,000-gallon Peterbilt. Smaller jobs can go on the 3,000-gallon tender or the 4×4 LMTV. Call 406-91-WATER to lock in a time.
Tenders from 1,000 to 4,000 gallons. Tell us the tank or the job and we will say which truck and how many trips.
Extreme off-road. The only non-CDL truck in the fleet. High-clearance military 4×4 for firelines, burned ground, and two-track a highway tender cannot run.
Truck-mounted pumps fill from ponds, pits, pools, and other available water in minutes — we are not stuck waiting on a hydrant.
Unload a full tender fast into a pit, tank, or wherever the job needs a lot of water in a hurry.
Front, rear, and side pressure sprays for dust, compaction, road watering, and pump-and-roll work.
Pump water to locations the truck cannot reach. High-pressure nozzles for roadways, lots, and demolition dust.
Truck-mounted pumps pull from ponds, pits, pools, and other available water so we are not tied to a hydrant.
The LMTV 4×4 wildland tender runs country a highway truck will not — burned-over hills, two-track, and firelines that need a high-clearance 4×4.
Spray from the front, sides, and rear. High-pressure nozzles clean roadways and parking lots and knock down demolition dust.
We carry a large quantity of 2½-inch fire hose to pump water to locations the truck cannot get to.
