Last night shortly after 6 pm tanker 63 was dispatched as part of a second tanker task force assignment to a large fire at Doylestown Waste Recycling in New Britain Township. Tanker 63 responded with a crew of 6. Upon arrival tanker 63's crew advanced their manpower to the scene to help assist setting up porta ponds for water supply. After dumping the first load of water and refilling tanker 63 was requested to set up at the bridge crossing the North Branch of the Neshaminy Creek and establish direct source water supply from the creek to the scene utilizing our turbo draft. They were able to efficiently and effectively deploy the turbo draft and secure a water supply in short order and began supplying the scene. After establishing a constant flow, the tanker crew assisted Warminster engine 92 with setting up a turbo draft on their truck to help supply more water. After a 3rd turbo draft was acquired on scene the crew assisted engine 92 with setting up a dual setup for better performance. As the night progressed tanker 63 was getting critically low on def fluid and fuel. A call was made back to the station to have engine 63 bring def fluid and bring another turbo draft to help increase our flow. Tanker 63 was still in desperate need of the fuel truck and would not be able to operate much longer without it, the decision was made to as efficiently as possible swap engine 63 in place of tanker 63 and add a 2nd turbo draft to our system to double our flows. Engine 63 continued to draft and supply continuous water to the scene all through the night until 4 am. Between engine 63 and the tanker nearly 100 gallons of diesel was consumed between both trucks while in operation as engine 63 had to also be refueled after several hours.

Last night was a true showing what working together as a team and helping each other out in the fire service is all about.
