In 2023, we added a new fire tanker to our fleet of high-performance fire apparatus, engineered to take on even tougher fire ground demands than our 3000 Gallon Tanker. The Fouts Fire 4000 Gallon Tanker is built on a durable Kenworth T-880 chassis and powered by a Cummins X15 565EV engine. With a 1500 GPM Hale Qmax pump, a 4000-gallon poly tank, and massive onboard storage, this fire truck is mission-ready for water shuttle operations, wildland fire response, and rural area deployments.
